the weather continues it's crazy journey into the next season

it's definitely Autumn

but not everywhere

 all the time

yesterday it got very sunny and then in an instant

it got darker and darker

and the black clouds rolled in

the wind picked up and

it rained

and then just as quickly it all rolled out

and

behind it came

the birds

a huge

big

large

many numbered

flock 

of black birds

probably 

grackles

flew in

I had opened a couple of windows so I heard the noise first

 I grabbed Blanch

 (my camera)

and went out into the wet and windy

and in they came

i did take a video but they were so scattered and high up it was hard to make sense of what was going on

so I think the photos as lousy as they are

are better

and I made a yummy fruit cake too

apple carrot walnut golden raisin

glazed bread cake

and it was good

still is

but it won't be for long

found it on

 facebook

but it's on her site

I think I found a new favourite cake to make when I want cake 

but not sweet and covered in three inches of icing

I added the raisins as I am a raisin lover

I recommend it highly!!!

the cake not the raisins

I'm still not hooking

a little gun shy I think

or should that be hook shy

Oh well

at least I have cake!!!!!
