Neil Young Brownies

It has been raining all night.

What a lovely, content, feeling it is,

 knowing that the roof is brand new

and there will be no leaks in the cottage.

When Jamison was little, on rainy days she would sing,

Its a rainy day,

its a rainy day,

I want to go out and playyyyyyyyyy.

Today is the perfect day to post my favorite brownie recipe.

Larry and I call them

Neil Young Brownies

(because they were dessert on Neil Young Picnic night)

Enjoy.
