Doing the July Photo-a-day Challenge with ChrissyT
Day 3
Food
It is NOT my birthday but here is a birthday cake
that Ken baked for me one year.
It is a 4 layer chocolate cake.
In between layers is chocolate pudding and raspberry jam
topped off with real whipped cream

The warmest weather so far at 74 degrees for this mornings walk.
Started off a bit foggy but soon it was sunny with some clouds too.
A still morning but the breeze picked up mid morning again.
Walked around both of the cemeteries to start again.
Then over to the ball park and once again walked around there
a few more times than normal to stay in the shade.
Then just walked around town trying to stay in the shade.
A few photos of the animals I talked to along my walk.
The Geese
The chickens
This little (not so little anymore) black chick is my favorite.
He is usually outside the fence and seems like a character.
Interesting fence was put up.
Gives some privacy but you don't feel closed in.
I see some holes dug along the fence where maybe they will plant something.
Lots of activity going on around town.
Things getting cleaned, mowed, firetrucks getting washed and a
general tidy up for the parade and festivities tomorrow
in town for July 4th.
Didn't see anyone else out just walking though.

We went out first thing this morning to get a few chores done.
While at Lowe's I bought a couple of plants for the porch.
I bought both of these for $15.
Spent some time on the front porch reading.
Warm but with a nice breeze.
Humming birds coming by and liking those petunias.
Used to put out feeders but they never came by.
Petunias, and they come a calling.
Looking forward to that homemade pizza in just a little while.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Lovely photos, Karen. I love seeing the Canada geese and chickens! The plants are lovely.
Happy 4th to you.
Ken must be an expert baker! I see the sun rays above the mountains! The chickens actually look like fake chicken yard decor! It is 103 here today!
really pretty images today. everytime i come here, and read, life is good, i smile and i am happy for the reminder!! i have been thinking about the photo challenge...i just happen to have food today...so maybe?!?!
That photo with the,cemetery is so peaceful. So pretty. Love the chickens. Wow on that birthday cake, Ken baked for you. Looks delicious.
The cake looks great and your photographs are lovely, especially the one with the cemetery.
Enjoy your pizza.
All the best Jan
The cemetery photo is just gorgeous. I'm so impressed by the birthday cake. It looks delicious and is pretty too.
Happy 4th!
Should I let Ken know when my birthday is? That cake! Oh my goodness!
And the picture you took at the cemetery...absolutely gorgeous!
...chocolate and raspberry is a wonderful combination.
Hi Karen! Wow, that is a beautiful sunrise picture. I love those plants you bought for your porch. Happy 4th of July to you! See you again soon!
That's quite a cake that Ken made for you! I like all kinds of cake but chocolate still is my favourite.
You got a great deal on those 2 pretty hanging plants.
That cake looks and sounds delicious. Chocolate and raspberry is a good combination.
The plants you got are so pretty. I would love to get some but I can never remember to water them so they don't last long
That chocolate cake with the pudding and raspberry layers looks incredible, even if it is a throwback photo for the challenge. Walking in 74-degree weather definitely makes finding shade a priority, and chatting with the local geese and chickens makes the route entertainment enough, especially that little renegade black chick. Those porch petunias were an absolute steal for fifteen dollars, and it is funny how the hummingbirds completely ignore feeders but swarm the actual flowers the second you put them out. Enjoy that homemade pizza tonight and have a blast at the parade festivities tomorrow.
That is weird how the fence was put up as these are not cheap. I know as we just had one put in a few years ago on just one side of our property because the old wood one was rotting. Am sure the pizza was great! Happy 4th of July. Janice
What a great cake. That morning shot with the sun rays and clouds is so gorgeous. I'm a little confused with that fence. Happy 4th x 250 to you and Ken!
I think I missed my calling, I should have been a farm girl! I'm loving the geese and chicken photos! That was a great price on the hanging baskets and they look so full and pretty. It's 11am and 90* and climbing here in my part of the world. I'll be spending the fourth inside.
Hello,
Your cake looks delicious. Love the sky image and all the chickens. Pretty flowers! Happy 4th of July! Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend!
Wow, I know a lot of women that will not tackle a four layer cake. To have your husband bake you a cake like this is quite a blessing.
Happy Fourth of July, my blogging friend.
That cake! How lovely!
