Spring is taking root.
The sun came today after weeks of rain. It warmed the soaked earth, brightened the primrose in bloom with robust crayola colors. They're bedded under the birdbath full of fresh rainwater. The lettuces are bright greens, tender and the oak leaf is a wonderful old rust.
I'll make our first meal from the garden tomorrow when Caryl comes over. The Swiss chard will be in a pasta of bacon, red pepper from last year's crop and fresh garlic from this year. We'll start with a tender salad of fresh, baby lettuce while the pasta cooks.
Spring is taking root. The sun warmed the soaked earth and made it shine with nature's pleasures today. It was a good day.
