T Stands for Spring Bunnies and Cake

     Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. And a big hello to all the folks who stop of very T at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's    blog too.

    This morning (Monday) we had some snow flurries (even thought the temperature was above freezing), and last week we had more grey weather than sunshine at my house, with a bit of snow, rain, thunder and temperatures that didn't know whether to be like winter (cold) or like spring (warm). I managed a couple of walks and did a bit of seed planting in some pots, plus I worked on our taxes which would have gone much easier if my dear husband had printed off his W-2s, which are the statement with all the information you need for taxes that your employer gives you.  I did finally get them done, but the whole thing is stressful even using one of those tax programs. 😩 

     I also put out some spring decorations at my house last week. I thought I would share some of those today since I'm still waiting for nice spring weather to return and some of those decorations work nicely for T day.

     Here's my mantel over the fireplace. I was excited to find the 2 bunnies you can see in the Target dollar section. I really like how big these bunnies are. Sometimes you can definitely find good things there in among all the "stuff" you don't need. 😏 Below is the bunny I usually put on my mantel, but with the 2 new white bunnies he's been moved to my dining room hutch/cabinet. He looks good there too.

     These next 2 bunnies are probably 30 years old. I picked them up  at a shop called the Christmas Tree Shop that sold random bits of everything. The chain went out of business  a couple of years ago, but mainly I used to shop there to find trinkets for my daughter (when she was young) for things like her Easter basket and Christmas stocking.  I picked up these bunnies on one of those shopping trips.

    And for T, you can also see one of my teapots here.  And speaking of teapots and T day, here's a spring themed one my daughter gave me for my birthday several years ago. I really like him. 

    Sadly I have no photos or real live bunnies to share. In my area I haven't seen one for years, probably between the coyote and the bobcats it keeps their numbers down. But I know  I used to frequently see them on the grounds of the school I worked at back when I was teaching.

  Recently Jeanie at the The Marmalade Gypsy shared a recipe for a wine cake.  It sounded intriguing so I made one last weekend. 

    It was the first time I'd ever bought or even tasted sherry. It made a very flavorful cake, but I can't see myself drinking a glass of this. It was a lot sweeter than I like.

     My husband and I both actually like the cake though, and I would definitely make it again.  Here's the recipe Jeanie had on her website that I used.

     Thank you Jeanie for sharing this recipe.❤

     That's all for me today. Have a wonderful T day and week ahead.
