Hello Friends,
A little bit of this and that coming up in photos ....
We received a surprise package from a family member who lives far away. Look at all the fun stamps on that package.
Cake!
We had family over for dinner. I made a 'celebrating late' birthday cake for my husband for our dessert.
Quiche... oh I do enjoy quiche.
Thinking spring and starting seeds.
We got caught in a pop up snow squall.
It is sap time!
We will cook down the sap into delicious maple syrup.
And someone would like a belly rub!
♥

I love a quiche too and have a recipe that always turns out. I planted a few seeds this weekend, kind of on a whim, so we'll see how it goes. I set them outside but then we had to bring them in as we got down close to freezing Saturday night. No pop up snow though, thankfully! Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteLots of good things happening! Your cake is so pretty! I hope your husband had a wonderful birthday. Goodness, I hope your snowfall is over for the season- not sure how likely April snowfalls are for you. Those are a lot of stamps!! Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove your this and that. Give that little handsome man a belly rub and a kiss on his nose from me. The birthday cake looks so yummy. Speaking of yummy I hope you do a post on this years Easter Cake. Can't wait to see it. Yum homemade syrup sounds so good. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThose stamps are so cool!!! I enjoyed your this and that!
ReplyDeleteMorning Carla....looks like a busy time around your place. Isn't it so exciting to see the little green stems sprouting out of the soil? I planted Zinnias last week and yesterday they were popping up. I loved seeing them. The look on your face during the pop up snow squall is fun!!! A beautiful cake for a sweet celebration. I will take a slice right now if you don't mind. 🍰
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a happy cake with all those rainbow sprinkles! It looks moist and yummy too. Love the picture of you when the snow is about to fall. How wonderful that you make your own maple syrup. aahh, Ernie looks so content just laying there next to you. And I love quiche too, Carla. My favorite is asparagus quiche! I wish you special moments on this Holy Week. : )
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, all of the food pictures look delicious! I love a sprinkle cake, seems just right for birthdays -late or early. Maple syrup, how fantastic you make your own.
ReplyDeleteThe birthday cake looks so festive, Carla, and your quiche looks yummy! How nice to bring out some plants that you over wintered. May you enjoy the beauty of Holy Week. 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stamps for sure. The cake looks yummy. The quiche looks delicious. Mark just planted some watermelon seeds. Oh wow on the snow! Good for you getting the sap. He looks so cute sleeping. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOhh! What fantastic photos of fun things. That cake looks so good and how exciting to be getting the sap!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I really like the stamps, and a dog inviting a belly rub is always sweet and heartwarming! The cake and quiche look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stamps! lol and a lot of sprinkles. Quiche is always good but those crumpets look inviting too. And as for the dog .... Have a great week Carla.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really fun week!!
ReplyDeleteGive Ernie some belly rubs from me! Yay for sap time! Snow squalls are crazy, aren't they? Spring seedlings are exciting! That cake and quiche look divine!
ReplyDeleteHello! I love quiche too! I was thinking of doing one for Easter brunch. Do you think you can make one up, put it in the fridge for a bit while we are at mass, then bake when we get home? Your cake looks beautiful and festive. Have a cozy evening, my friend.
ReplyDeleteCan any type of maple tree be tapped?
ReplyDeleteOur town has many maple trees. In fact, the street I live on is called Maple Avenue because both sides of it are lined with maple trees, but I have never seen any of them being tapped.
Makes me want to try and figure out how to do it and tap one myself.
I enjoy quiche too :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
