This weekend, we celebrated the birthday of a dear friend and faithful reader of Greensboro Daily Photo. If you are local and follow our blog, chances are you were introduced to the site by Jane. Jane loves living in Greensboro and learning everything she can about her city. She reads the blog diligently, helps us research information, calls immediately if she finds a misspelling or slip of grammar. She also comes up with great ideas about places to photograph and has been known to join us for afternoons of photographing Greensboro. Everyone needs a friend like Jane.
Jane is also a fan of all things French, an inference that can be made upon seeing the cake above. The Eiffel Tower/Fleur de Lis cake is the colors of her soleil yellow Quimper/French dinnerware. Since Jane's birthday comes so close to the anniversary of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, next year, we're planning a Nathanael Greene in the round-a-bout cake. Get out the blue and bronze cake gel. Seriously, readers like you and Jane make our 365-days-a-year effort all worthwhile.
Add to Mellow YELLOW Monday.
Yes, Happy Birthday! I liket the image of this yummy cake.And I liked what you wrote. I hope we all can get a "Jane" to follow the blog, and I am pleased about my followers too.

What a perfect tribute to Jane, the lover of all things French!
RAINBOW LULLABY
Hush, little baby, it’s no time to cry,
Mama will sing you a sweet lullaby—
A bright rainbow song on this darksome night,
A bright rainbow song that’s sure to delight:
Green are the pastures where flocks of sheep graze;
Grey and begrimed are the skies on fog-days.
Red is the color of sun going down;
Black is the smudge of a terrible frown.
Blue are the mountains that rise from the plain;
Shimmering golden the Kansas wheat-grain.
So many colors, my baby, my fair!
So many colors right here and right there!
But thinking of colors under the sun,
Yellow’s the brightest of all, little one!

I thought at first this was a Mardi Gras cake. :)
In any case, Happy Birthday Jane!

I noticed you haven't in the blogosphere for awhile. And yes the MYM has more of the Filipino crowd which makes it more fun to see different photos. Love your yellow cake and for Jane Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Jane. (Someone else is going to have to translate that into French.)
