A good day for baking a cake

 Hello Happy Homebuddies!

A most very pleasant day today weatherwise, more of what I remember summers being like as a child. 

I made the command decision this week to make homemade carrot cake. I have not made one in ages and ages. I don't think my family has ever even tried it. I think they will like it. 

It is in the oven as I am chatting with you. Have you ever had carrot cake? Do you enjoy it? 

Finishing up some coffee, and I've hung a tablecloth out on the line to blow in breeze One of my favorite things to do. I saw a beautiful Monarch butterfly. Always a treat to see those. Yellow finches are also around gathering seeds off the Zinnia & Black Eyed Susans. 

Simple joys.


Not yet, but soon my favorite decor will be bursting out of their tub.

I like to harken back to old posts around the same time/day at this current one to see what was going on in my world and what a topic might have been.

Here is one from last year

This makes me want to make another one. Usually in the fall I get all about certain things.
Love it!

Be of Good Cheer, do good things!

Carrot cake is one of my favourite cakes. Especially when covered in Cream Cheese frosting. Not at all diet friendly.

God bless.

Both of us love Carrot cake but my old recipe made a 9X13 and even with freezing part of it it was too much for the 2 of us. I've found a recipe that makes an 8X8 and may try that one soon.
I wish we had colourful butterflies here. Rarely do I see any except the white Cabbage ones. I'd love to see some finches too but it is possible that Kitty scares them off. She loves to lie near the birdbath and keep watch.
