A scant bushel of gigantic rhubarb from Jersey was first up this year– hey, no snickering, it is the Garden State for a reason, and though I still consider it all mostly a mystery, I did live there for 10 years. …
where to find les collines, spring 2015
So grateful spring has arrived…or is it summer? Whichever, it is not cold, and we will take it….
mad men
It is the series finale tonight of Mad Men, a show I have only seen in fits and starts. I won’t be viewing; it is on my to stream in marathon sessions list….
The Amazing Lee Bros. Sour Orange Pie
Read that how you will– both the Lee Bros. and their sour orange pie are amazing. They (the brothers that is, with or without pie!) actually have a TV show called “Southern Uncovered” starting in June!!!…
a little life
Home with a stomach bug last week, I was able to catch up on some of my stacks of reading. Still trying to decide whether to have a go at what sounds a very difficult book.

sending March out
With a roar, for sure. Not the weather though– all of us are roaring, trying to hasten the exit of this malingering winter.
How did we survive it, this epic, still-going-strong-past-the-equinox winter of 2014-15?…
vernal equinox 2015
Twas the first day of spring 2015, and it looked and felt like winter, of course. 
Snowing with temps in the 20’s, I am wondering if I will ever feel warm again.
A box of Sevilles at the ready and a bouquet of tulips showing their colors helped remind us that sunniness does exist (somewhere!) and will return someday. The dogs find joy in just about any weather, why don’t we?
