cake batter bark

So, even though this was delicious, I was disappointed because it did not taste like cake batter at all. I even put in twice as much cake mix as the recipe told me to. But it just tasted like milk and white chocolate with sprinkles. It is really pretty, though!

I've come across this blog which I adore.
It's called Craftily Ever After.
And it is so fun.

Often, there will be a free Holiday print out that I've started to love. I keep a picture frame in my living room to fill with the most recent installment of someone else's creativity.

Here is the Valentine's Day version, which I am anxious to put up!

music

Without music life would be a mistake.  ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.  ~Gustav Mahler

Music is the universal language of mankind.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Here is one of my favorite songs, Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate. My favorite part of the song starts at 5:25.

garden plans

Mr. Webb and I have planted a garden for the past two years, and have loved it both years. We've had successes, and we've had disasters. But we are planning on a garden again this year, and I've been a little excited about planning what I want to try this year.


This year, we're going to grow a few things we grew last year. Like cherry tomatoes, large tomatoes, green peppers, anaheim chiles, jalapenos, and peas.

We're also going to try a few new things. Maybe some carrots (tried last year and failed), some green onions, a lemon cucumber (tried two years in a row and failed), basil, spaghetti squash, and garlic.

Mr. Webb also spent some time this past fall digging up our flower patch and burying more tulip bulbs than you'd imagine. So hopefully in a few months, we'll have tulips out our ears! I can wait to see the gorgeous flowers and eat my yummy produce!
