We have our first flowers in the backyard. Violets, small and brightly colored, peeking up through the felled branches and unkillable Creeping Charlie and pine litter.
I know that many of you have had green grass and flowers for weeks now, but not so in my neighborhood.
Here, I wait. And watch. And finally, the light of longer days helps the first amethyst petals brave an unpredictable spring.
Welcome, little ones.

Tonight’s dinner:
pasta with citrus shrimp and French sorrel, Swiss chard, lemon thyme, basil, garlic chives and cherry tomatoes from the garden.

This is about the extent of our bounty so far. It may have been 94F today but it’s still Canada, the growing season starts late and ends early. Still fun!
The astute observer may also have noticed a bright splash of color in the background. That’s my favorite new summer beverage, Ace Hill’s grapefruit Radler. So, so much nommity goodness!
/yeah, I’m buying it by the case
