I made the most amazing carrot cake using the discard from sourdough starter. The cake is so moist. It's filled with carrots, spices like cinnamon, walnuts, coconut, crushed pineapple, and raisins. The frosting is cream cheese with pecans.
The lily of valley and iris are from the yard. It was so hot today the iris were just laying on the lawn, too weak to hold themselves up. So I cut them and took them inside and refreshed them with some cool water.
Cut peonies in the house this time of year are one of my favorite things.
Pinks, whites, and fuchsia peonies are in the store. I purchased the palest pink ones this time.
Can you find the bird on the tree? It's right below the knot on the left aspen. The knot looks a bit like an eye. It's a woodpecker. At first its head was in a hole.
I was looking for a mountain bluebird, but they eluded my camera today. I thought I saw a couple of them in flight.
Here is a crow in the horse pasture. And below is a robin.
Doesn't it look like something is eating the iris?
It's been such a long winter season. At least there are flowers inside. More pics of the bouquet on the dining table.
The forsythia,
And some bananas and watermelon in the kitchen.
An interesting flower study I did of a flower market in Marienplatz, Munich Germany after visiting.
