Meyer Lemon Bundt cake is light, fresh, tangy and just right for Spring. I know it's not Spring yet, and lots of you probably have snow, slush, or something in-between but really...It's coming.

I love my cake stand! It was a gift from my husband. It was a "no special reason" gift which, as you know, are the best of all. There's a cake server that goes with it. You'll  be seeing a lot of images with this dish in future posts! If you love it as much as I do you can get it at Victorian Trading Company.

Meyer lemons are ending the season right now. It's about the only time of year that you can get them. While you can use regular lemons in place of a Meyer lemon there is a difference in flavor. The Meyer lemon is milder, sweeter, and has more depth. It is larger and more orangey than a regular lemon. They cost a bit more but are really worth it. If you can't find them go with regular lemons. Sometimes I add just a touch of orange juice to regular lemon juice to emulate the Meyer. It isn't perfect but it works.

We have been working like crazy on the house over the past two years. First it was a new kitchen, then a deck, then a flagstone path and an arbor to the kitchen, a new roof... it just goes on and on when you have a big, old house! This year I think we are going to try vegetable gardening again. It has been years! I just work too much to be able to take care of much else so we'll see. I am hopeful.

I bought the seeds yesterday. I got several types of heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, herbs, green beans... I can't wait for the beds to be made so I can plant. AND my bulbs that I planted in the side garden last Fall are coming up, too!

I am hoping for a fairytale cottage but I don't know if I will get there. Between Houzz and Pinterest I have seen so many ideas I love that I've overwhelmed myself and I don't know what I want. :/

We hit the 80s yesterday and so it was definitely a top down kind of day. I had a few errands to run and it was just really nice to feel the warmth and know that winter is almost over.

Make this Meyer Lemon Bundt cake and give yourself a little taste of Springtime. It would be great on the table for Easter or Mother's Day!
