Grow where you are.

I've noticed that everything has turned from dismal gray to green and cheery. Even on this rainy day, I go outside to a sea of green.

I spent another afternoon at Picasso's Coffee reading Culinary Boot Camp, by Martha Rose Shilman. Even though I only perused the first few pages, it has definitely inspired me to cook a little.

I went home and made a picnic on a plate, chicken salad on a croissant paired with cucumbers marinated in a mixture of vinegar and sugar.

Oh Lord, I think that I might float because of all this joy in the air.

I didn't have time to plant my herb seeds, but I did get a chance to steal this picture from Joshua. It's from his bike ride. Aren't we lucky to be within biking distance of such lush farm land?
