Rhubarb Cake - A Vernal Kitchen Witch Tradition
We have some coolish days ahead, and on such vernal days I like to warm our little hut with roasting 'n' baking. Today, with rhubarb just coming ripe in the gardens, methinks I'll make a rhubarb cake.

In between the botanical pages that I’ll be posting, I may be sharing some of the writing exercises that I’m doing… some will undoubtedly be random, nonsensical ramblings, like this one today. Others might evolve into something more intriguing. Wouldn't that be cool?
