of cake tragedies and bunny rabbits.

5.26.2011

Lush green grass. Gardens in bloom. Reading on the deck with a cup of sun-tea. These lovely things always seem so foreign to me after the long winter. So, when the time comes where I get to see and experience them for the first time in a year, I am quite ecstatic. I still open the door to the yard and expect to see an endless sheet of white. I smile, when I see green for miles, instead.



Today started out a little slow, but it ended up being one of those days where I am incredibly thankful to have people in my life who make me laugh until my stomach hurts. If they keep this up, I'll probably end up with a six-pack due to excessive laughter.

On a little backyard photography adventure, I finally managed to snap a photo of the little rabbit that currently resides under our deck. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever, and has been given the name 'Teacups'.


For a good portion of the day, the sweet aroma of my Mom's chocolate cake filled the house. This would have made me incredibly excited, but there was just one problem. The cake was for an event, and we weren't aloud to eat any. So the cake just sat in the kitchen while the sweet smell lingered in the air, practically mocking us. I was able to lick the glazing spoon afterwords, and help decorate the cake with beautiful edible blossoms, so that made my little cake tragedy a whole lot better. :)


And, this is for you...


Bisous,

Abbey

  1. Beautiful post. :) I notice the book in the first picture--I loved 'The Help'. And that rabbit is so adorable. There aren't many where I live, just squirrels and birds. Have a lovely day, too!
