Your process with cream is a mystery to me, but interesting! As far as scones/biscuits, scones are a richer, sweeter version of what we call baking powder biscuits. I make my biscuits with water, not milk, and though I tend to use butter now they're often (usually) made with shortening.

I've been adjusting the rope lines on the clothes line, and will next hang a load that washed last night. Had a good over-the-back-fence chat with the next door neighbor - when you have great neighbors, those are a special kind of conversation, aren't they? Anyway, more laundry to wash, and I need to finish moving the dirt in front of the berm. I delayed putting out my soaker hoses this year because I wanted to move one stone wall first, and now that I have a clear path around that corner of the house, I'll arrange them and get them going.

There are several partially set up or ready to do projects here that I probably should list on my fridge, and check next year to see if I completed them. :) Things I already have the materials for so there is no more expense, just the performance of the job.
