Baby Chicks

Musings on Life and Beauty

The sun has come at last!  We took the chicks outside this morning to play with them.

Easter chicks
My brother and his sons are visiting from Colorado, and it was fun to include them in the adventure.


We started with a clump of children around a clump of chicks…




but soon spread out a little and had a great time.


We also had the cutest spectator ever.


Enjoy the pictures!


















This kid NEVER smiles in pictures.  I’m so happy to have caught him smiling without reserve.






It has been cute to watch the children enjoy having these little pets in the house for several days.   This afternoon the little chicks will be starting a new adventure living with a different set of cousins.

Thanks so much, Grandma and Grandpa, for providing this wonderful memory!

Easy Breakfast Cake

Breakfast

Several months ago I needed to bake a breakfast cake, and didn’t have time for a from scratch recipe.  I came up with this little alternate recipe.  It’s simple and easy but I’ve found that people quite like it.

breakfast cake
Take a spice cake mix and mix it up according to the directions on the box.  Pour into a 9 by 13 inch pan.


In a small mixing bowl, combine 6 Tablespoons cold butter, 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup sugar.  Use a pastry cutter or a fork to mix until you have fine crumbs.


Simply sprinkle the topping over the cake mix in the baking pan.


Bake according to the directions on the cake mix box.  Allow to cool, and then serve!

Yum!  Have a great day!
