I love painting with the color red in the summer. IT reminds me of some of my favorite things, ripe strawberries, cherries, and tomatoes, the US flag, and red geraniums.
I hope to do more red paintings this month!
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.
