It's raining lightly here, which is a welcome reprieve from the hot weather earlier this week. I'm hoping it'll let up later so I can put my pepper seedlings in, but if it doesn't, no harm; sometimes it is nice to be out in rain. I'm finding that having this garden is so good for my mental health - there is something very calming about being with the plants, and I find myself going out in the morning just to check and see how they are doing. It's very Zen, for lack of a better word.
In other news, my to-do-list today is really long, and therefore my time is really short. We're having LW's first birthday party tomorrow (so that family and friends can come) although her *real* birthday is tuesday; I can't believe a year has flown already!
In honor of the event, I need to bake a double recipe of Sweet Potato Cake with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting, then frost and decorate it, and clean the house (we've reached a good state of controlled chaos, but as my grandmother would say, "the Davis's are coming!" which really meant a panicked cleaning was in order).
Also, some enjoying of the Saturday needs to take place. So a happy weekend to all - pictures of the cake to be forthcoming if it turns out ok :) I haven't decorated a cake in a good long while, but hopefully (yet again!) the 4-H skills will come right back.

I found this on The Cloth Diaper Whisperer blog, and thought I'd pass it on to you.

Well, you know that you don't have to clean for us.., but then we're not the Davises. Good luck with the cake. I have a project in the works for LW, but I think it will wait to arrive on her actual birthday (since her big gift has already arrived at her house!).
