Another thought I had was about my/partially dad's garden. Back in January, when my parents were visiting us, my dad started my little garden: he prepared garden beds, changed a soil in the boxes, walked me through on seed preparation before planting, patiently answered a zillion gardening questions I asked him. Now they are back in Europe, but each time we Skype or talk on the phone, dad always asks me about the garden. And a big thanks to Skype and my blog, he can actually see it growing. So as another gift from mother-nature and my labor is this basket of today's harvest.

Happy Father's Day! :)
See you,
Marina
Isn't technology wonderful? I bet he loved seeing your garden growing! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, he is proud to see it! :)
DeleteWonderfully looking cake. It would be perfect for my grandma that has to cut out sugar from her diet, so I can't wait for the recipe:-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it. :)
Deletethe cake just looks too enticing...mouthwatering!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat cake looks marvellous. Its interesting our Mother's Day is the same day as yours but our Father's day isn't until September.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting indeed. Some countries don't have Mother's and Father's days at all.
DeleteFabulous photos Marina - and how satisfying it must have been to harvest those beautiful herbs and veggies! I have a similar relationship with my two daughters as that which you describe. One of my girls lives in France, and we always have a good natter about her balcony garden whenever we talk. I'm just a bit confused about the Father's Day cake. Did your Dad have to use Skype to watch you eat it on his behalf - or did you send him the recipe?? :-)
ReplyDeleteLol, yes Mark, something like that: I ate some cake while talking to him via Skype. My mother is an excellent cook, I am sure she makes him this cake too!
DeleteVery nice, Marina! The cake is beautiful too. I liked hearing about you and your Father gardening together. Nice to know you stopped by too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqueline. Your blog is very charming... :)
DeleteGorgeous cake! And the photography is so sharp and clear. Beautiful work, Marina!
ReplyDeleteThank you Averie! I appreciate your comment about my photography. For an amateur photographer in me it's a great compliment! :)
DeleteLooks great Marina! Can't wait to see what is in that cake, it looks so light!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane! :)
DeleteGreat looking cake Marina and your harvest looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alida! :)
DeleteThis looks really a great cake slice. Will be looking for recipe.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like it, Balvinder! :)
DeleteThat does look wonderful! We love Skype, too but haven't done it internationally! That would be neat!
ReplyDeleteSkype doesn't have borders and customs! :) Neat tool!
DeleteDelicious pictures. Touching post. You are a thoughtful daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila!

DeleteThis cake looks perfect!
ReplyDeletethank you Kim! :)
DeleteSkype is wonderful! And such a nice post. You've got a great garden - my tomatoes aren't close to being ready to harvest!
ReplyDeleteI planted my tomatoes on January 6th! :)
DeleteIndeed Skype brings family members and friends so close to each other! The harvest I am sure made your father proud and the sweet would be perfect for him. My father has diebetes too and he abstains from sweets as well!
ReplyDeleteMy mother has to be very creative as my dad has a sweet tooth for a whole family: no one loves sweets more than him! :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful father's day gift, I am sure your Dad enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteYes, he did. Especially the harvest... :)
DeleteSo thoughtful and that cake looks really delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
