Spring is here. 

Here are some things from the last few days

blending work and play

infusing neighbourhood dandelion, cherry and plum blossom vinegars

while looking for a spot to pee...

sweet scene in the middle of the cattail stand

butter-sauteed cattail shoots as part of the evening's supper

when you embrace the health-supprting offerings of our local "weeds"

 open your palate to their wild flavours 

instead of despair

the sight of them brings joy:

burdock root for tomorrow's supper

"blending work and play"

... which is which?
