Mozart and Me - Gardening
Dear Perusers:
Who knew that Amadeus was such an ardent gardener?
His music perfectly suits whatever gardening tasks I have to do, plunk out goes the soil, plunkity plunk plonk, in goes the plant and tweetly tweet on the flutes just to keep the birds happy. (they join in, especially that red winged blackbird who has recently moved to one of our nearby trees.)
This post could also be called: Bluetooth Gardening. I am constantly amazed by the tech wizardry of my bluetooth pendant slung around my neck as it goes out and hunts for the channel I have selected on my Galaxy tablet. Ah ha! found it: and CalmRadio Mozart comes in loud and clear in my ear pieces.
Gardening to Mozart is one heck of a way to spend a pleasurable mild overcast but not rainy afternoon, 'doing up' my Provencal flower boxes. I missed doing these last year, so I am replacing the pansies with lobelia and geraniums in hopes I will attract the swallowtail butterflies and hummingbirds once more.
Blessings of Mozart or any other great composer on your Gardening endeavours!

Sunbeam Chocolate Cake for Ms P's Birthday!
Since Ms P doesn't 'do' facebook or ever read my blog, I feel it's
safe to share this with you:
It's Ms P's Birthday this week and in her
honour Mr Bear dusted off the only homemade chocolate cake recipe we
will ever bake: his mother's Sunbeam Mix Master one. (A
cookbook was included with the machine back in the '50's). The kitchen
has been smelling of chocolate cake all afternoon and it is a Very Good
Thing that she is coming over tomorrow for lunch and will take it away
with her. (either inside or out..lol) This is the first time Mr Bear
has tried the silicone bundt pan and being a 'belt and suspenders' kind
of cook, made sure it would not stick by spraying the be-heavens out of
it before pouring the cake batter into its curvy recesses. As you can plainly see : TA DA! SUCCESS!! 
Blessings of
chocolate cake
baking to all.
May your oven maintain the right temp!
