Lovin'

Things around these parts have been a bit busy and a bit scattered lately. Two birthdays within three days... and lots of recovering from our super fun visit with Grandma. 

Some things I have been lovin' amongst it all...

Birthday carrot cake for the big guy that is so yummy and healthy that I don't mind serving leftovers for breakfast.


Double-decker paleo brownies at the request of the newly minted seven year-old.


Cafe umbrellas on a beautiful day.


Hummingbirds at the feeder.


And along with this inspiration, the Lego building they inspire (thanks to Lori for posting this link).


Releasing mantids to the garden.
 

Sewing with this bird fabric.


Watching goslings grow with Grandma.


Watching this little guy play baseball.


Watching the moon rise.


I have also been lovin' this post, this book and this photo.

I have lots more to share and will be back tomorrow with a Make & Listen post.

What have you been lovin' lately?

      They are very cute. One would never know what vicious hunters they are by looking at those big doe eyes.
      And Thanks. He had a great day!

      You should make it. It is sweetened with dates and maple syrup. So very yummy! And proclaimed best carrot cake ever by Paleo and non-paleo eaters alike!
      Thanks for the birthday wishes. They both had great days!
