That cake sounds so good. Makes me hungry. I have some frozen strawberries in the freezer I think I am going to turn into sorbet tomorrow.
Nothing but clouds here and for the next few days. Severe thunderstorms and flash flood warnings for tonight.
Gardens are just not growing well here. They are actually getting to much water. Plants are rotting in the ground.

I got my little tomato plants potted today and out on the balcony. Took care of the MIL's dog and fish. She slipped her leash on me when I was going to put her back in her kennel so I had to yell for Jon to open the door to the house and call her inside. Worked like a charm. It was so hot and muggy out there today. By the time we got her leashed up, walked and fed we were both a sweaty mess.

Nope, janie! (UGH!- sounds like a dandy, though- fer sure!)

Bubba- your cake sounds purty good! Also- don't fret about usin' a store-bought box-mix. I usem' often myself- always got at least one in the pantry- right alongside the small blue boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix!

I will set it as my avatar then lol.

Ah-Ha! I SEE!

The cake is a take-off from a cake I make quite often using a dark chocolate cake mix and cherries. It tastes pretty good. Was a good night for some viewing last night, clear skies and fairly stable air. Got a nice view of Saturn, but the rings are more edge on now so it looks kinda like a ball with a pencil pushed through it. I have an 8 inch Dobsonian reflector scope now but for next year the plan is to get a 6 inch computerized refractor or 6 inch Schmitt-Cassagrain. The refractor I'm looking at is a bit over 50 inches long, a real yard cannon, so I'm leaning toward the Schmitt because of the shorter length and ease of handling.
