Trying to not count my black currants before they're ripe...but anticipation is building for another batch of jam to be made in a few months. Harvest from this one bush last year was nearly 3 pounds! #springtime #drivewaygarden #eatwhatyougrow

One of those flavor combos that makes me extra happy: peanut butter + coffee. Especially peanut butter toast, but a great peanut butter cookie works too. This one a favorite, from @delaurentifoodandwine. #saturdayvibes #secondbreakfast #peanutbutter #coffee

Dinner tonight, starts with shrimp from the freezer and first snips of sorrel from the garden. Not sure how it'll come together, but I trust it'll be tasty. #homecooking #springtime #shrimp #sorrel #seafood #seafoodsavvy

I can't say how much I love spring. So much so, I wanted to get married on the first day of spring, our 31st anniversary in a few days. I'm ready for the season's color, green, new growth, warmer temps more than usual this year. Wishing you all an early Happy Spring!! #walking #springtime #springisintheair #color #blueskies

Had the very best time down in San Diego for a few days. Among highlights is the Japanese garden in Balboa Park along with generally strolling around various parts of the park we'd missed previous visits. The desert garden in particular had some wacky cacti and trees. Great dinners at Herb & Wood, Mabel's Gone Fishing and Ironside. Made a trip to Pop Pops Paleta for a second ice cream bar in two days.... Mmmmm. Tons of walking, earned our treats!!

A Rorschach test in cabbage form. Or maybe a mood ring? Either way, when I halved this cabbage and saw the cross-section, first thing that came to mind was "The Scream". Glancing at the photo later, I instead saw the core looking like a path leading off on some adventure through a forest of purple. I much prefer that interpretation. Better mood that day, I guess.
