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.

Elusive Spring always here in Chicagoland

Ad-Free Blog

Visiting some Spring ideas from the past...

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com


I'm looking forward to planting and trying to get in the greenhouse since we are having a melt this week.

I'm late in planting in the house....that should get done this week...I love pansies.

Some great photos and Spring scenes with
Glorious daffodils at the Chicago Garden Show a few years back at Navy Pier.

Table top inspirations, isn't this luscous.

Just to smell dirt in March is a Godsend this time of year in the North.

Inside my Birds nested and eggs appeared.


Eggs in an old wooden bowl, unhatched

Our porch bloomed, not this year, yet.
Nothing is on my front door yet, or on the front porch except twigs and wind refuse,

Table in the past.
Ivy topiary and bunny from last year. Mid 30's this year, too cold for this.

We even had a few tulips in the garden last year.

I hope to get this going this week.

I'll be making sweets, rice crispy treats are standard for Spring.

Dressing my tables, eventually.

Nostalgia peeks out here and there

Which came first? Whoops that's chickens says the 
Bunnies.

My weak attempt at Spring this year, so far.

Planning food for company, Carrots are a must.

We're going to scrub the back porch, when it isn't below freezing. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Will I get to use these great Spring tablecloths on the porch, or will we be stuck inside with another snow storm?
