A sweet & floral cake meant to be savored on a balmy summer day. With hints of rosemary and lemon, this cake is best when served warm with a cup of tea.
Seeing a bird soar and hearing its call; the smell of the salty air, the boat fumes and the rumble of the motor is a morning that the Lord blessed you with. One is scurrying to get ones fishing pole and the bait. The thermos is full of hot coffee and the sandwiches are simple; but yet this is a day that is rich and full of treasures. These treasurers are set in the recess of your mind; to be drawn and to fill you to the brim and lay the path to who you are.
