Aren't these gorgeous---I planted them somewhere out in the garden last year---can't wait???

Carrot cake....for Easter! I so screwed with the recipe---I can't even find what I started with!
I know I added raisins, coconut, oatmeal, carrots and chopped apples-- (no nuts) 

I can't wait to get out onto the porch---it will be probably a month or more before though.

The entire family loves to lounge and relax out here!

It may be 'Tulip Time' on my platter, but outside it's still barren, cold, and wet.

    1. Oh, thank you, Maristella. I had to go to the archives, because it just wasn't Spring here yet. Today was lovely though, and I got my front porch cleaned of the refuse of winter. This week I will hope to make SPRING for this year!

  3. Wow, Sandi, it's all beautiful. It's cold and barren here, too, so your pretty pictures are a welcome reminder of what's to come. :)

  4. Sandi, I love it all. So many pretty flowers and all real too!!! (Inside joke) That is the best way to go but sometimes other stuff happens! Carrot cake looks so good and very pretty. I envy anyone that can draw and write on a blackboard and make it look good. You definitely can do that. Thanks for your two visits. Yes, my roses are sprouting but I have one lone daffodil that is trying to open up. I probably will spotlight it in my next post..Happy Weekend..Judy
