My garden’s magic has yielded a rainbow of flowers to embellish a lemon cake that I made today. It’s a lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon cream cheese frosting! And it’s as delicious as it looks. 😋🍋🌼

My dog managed to eat raw eggs today (from our backyard chickens). Her farts now smell like rotten eggs and she’s having loose yellow stools. Anyway, how’s your day going?

This is my Mother’s Day present. It’s an IBC tank that we’re turning into a raised pond! Question for you guys— since it’s a raised pond, what would you do to help critters get in and out? Tree branches? Cute mini ladders? Stacked rocks? All of the above?

The next step is to install a decorative exterior surface. I’m debating between salvaged wood or some kind of brick, tile, or stone wall. Cannot wait to plant some lovely native aquatic plants; I’ll be sure to post pics. I did include some of my native plants from a different part of the yard to pay the flower tax. Golden Alexander, Robin plantain, and Mayapple all about to bloom.
