The Flood from Heaven, and Happy Valentines!

Well, really it came from the bottom of our road, where the water treatment plant is for the local water authority. We awoke in late January to a completely flooded garden, and the water still rising.

Thankfully not too much damage was done, but I lost the entire contents of my greenhouse, and so I got a small payout from the water company.  I used part of the money to buy all of us new passports, which cost a small fortune, I might add, and the rest of the money bought this baby, who arrived on Valentines Day <3 :

I have to admit I did squeal when the delivery driver arrived with this one, and OMG! it's SO heavy.

What better to make on Valentines Day, than some cute little celebratory vanilla cupcakes:

Aww, I do like a romantic ending :o)
