Tuesday Compound

It actually rained earlier. It was after I’d already watered the front yard, but I’ll still consider it a win. Jim always brings the rain when he visits, which is odd, since he’s from Southern California and we all know it never rains in California. I guess the rain prompted my desire to bake. Either that or Tim’s wish last night that we could have cake even though it’s no one’s birthday. So…


Mini cupcakes, cupcakes, and a cake that Jim says is Tim’s because he’s the one who asked for cake.


And since the oven was already on, I made sausage and cheese balls.

The Dogs of Green Acres are visiting. Here’s Paco with Guinness and Margot reenacting what Rex, Pixie, Penny, and Minute are doing with Jim in the living room.

So you won’t think it’s all food, dog love, and naps around here, I should confess that I plan to force Jim to watch Eclipse later. After all, last year, he saw Twilight and New Moon while he was here. I don’t want to deny him more opportunities of seeing Taylor Lautner without a shirt. I’m a giver that way.

  1. That’s great you got some rain! I’m coming to your place soon, it looks like heaven with all those lovely dogs and homemade treats. And it’s HOT there! 🙂

      1. Yep, I know when summer comes around again I’ll most likely complain about the heat – just can’t imagine it right now.

  2. Aidan LOVES sausage cheese balls. He’s been making them for parties & gatherings since he was about 7.
    The combination of food pics & dogs would make him want to visit TX 🙂

    1. I wish I had sausage cheese balls RIGHT NOW. I’ll probably just make some Puterbaugh popcorn and watch the third Harry Potter movie, though.
