March came in like a lamb here for us. Beautiful sunshine meant I was outside doing as much as I dared. Youngest is coming by later today to move some heavy things for me, heavy pots of wet dirt impossible for either of us oldies to budge. The forecast for tomorrow is equally pleasant.
We had a lovely walk first thing this morning. Saw a muskrat which we know are present in the Creek but hard to spot. It was so nice walking in sunshine and listening to birds singing.
Although this picture is from the internet it looks exactly like what we saw. Not the most handsome of rodents but really, are any of them good-looking? Maybe beavers.
In the kitchen I tried a new-to-me recipe that I found in Kirsten's lovely blog__ A Letter from Home. It's for a Welsh tea cake dense with dried fruit and soooo good. It's called Bara Brith which apparently means mottled bread. I will definitely make this often. Both of us love it...(in fact along with a pot of tea it made my supper last night).
The one I made looked slightly different because the recipe called for currants ( which I dislike) so I used raisins and dried cranberries. I threw in some glaced fruit that had been soaking in rum since Christmas. As you know, I can never stick to a recipe. haha.
Thanks for visiting
