cake + walk

This weekend the snow came down.  again. 

But we made the yummiest cake ever.  Using a recipe found on the side of the Stonyfield yogurt container.  It was truly the tastiest and moistest cake I have ever eaten.  I added raisins and sprinkled the top with chocolate chips - for good measure.  I know it's not much to look at but make it - and you will understand.

Oh, and we also had soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. 

 

And we took a walk.

Gorgeous photos; wasn't the snow great? I loved the way this one stuck to the trees. It's cold here this morning and I don't want to go to work.....

[Jodi]

Great pictures (and a great dessert). That picture of your dog reminds me of our first dog Davey. He was a loyal old soul. It looks like you had a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful pictures. I need to get outside with my camera. This weekend, I was outside with the shovel! And it looks like it's going to be more of the same on Wednesday. I'll be running back to the store for more essentials.

Such beautiful snowy pictures. I love it.
I am making that cake, those are some serious words of praise, so I don't think I could not :) Stay safe and warm

LOVE your snow quote and your snow pictures!! Winter is so worth it when everything is covered in snow!! keep your body warm and your tummy full (looks like that won't be a problem with your yummy recipes!!).

The trees look so beautiful covered in snow. We have another 2 ft or more of snow heading our way tomorrow night and then possibly more on the weekend. I don't like the shoveling, but sometimes it's nice when mother nature makes you take some time off to spend it with your family. Any more snow coming your way this week?

Your quote and pictures make me think a little better of our impending snow storm.

[lucy]
