Spring Walk




Today we got our 1st day of warm weather (82 degrees) since the 1st day of Spring. We took a walk in a neighborhood near a shopping area. For a while I looked around and at once I saw, felt and smelled a perfect Spring ; the flowering trees, tulips and daffodils, children talking, the aroma of barbecue . Over a fence I noticed a plate full of grilled asparagus. Yes, it is now the season for this crunchy green. I can think of some of my favorite sauteed dishes already, just whole asparagus with onion and lemon juice or prosciutto plus black pepper and the other one roasted garlic plus balsamic vinegar. Farmer's market is now one of my weekend destinations.
