What I am hearing as I write this morning...
This is what I was listening to as I wrote today's post...I thought you might like to share it and remember why it is that I am, and will always be.....Mozart's Girl!
Thanks for sharing this! It is always to listen to Mozart. Usually on Saturday I listen to his operas, sometimes I sing some arias myself. When Autumn looms like it seems to be these August days, I listen to his Requiem. My brothers and I used to prepare the crabapples to make jelly with it in the background.
Gotta say I'm a jazz not classical girl but this is very pretty and relaxing to listen to--while I was reading your other blog and lusting after your baked goods. I could see how this would be nice music while baking tho Ella Fitzgerald is also hard to beat.

I live with my gorgeous husband, Paul and our wire fox terrier, Alice, in a small country town.I have cooked professionally for 30 years (boy, does that sound OLD!) and now run Sugar Moon, an online brownie business, as well as a small wholesale bakery, which I love. In any rare spare time I'm working on my first novel and a cookbook based on my business. I love Mozart above most things, but also adore reading, movies,visiting different countries,walking Alice, eating & all things foodie as well as spending time with my beloved friends and family....I hope you enjoy my blog!
