Vive Le Printemps

Spring is...

...fiddleheads' tight little fists.
...rhubarb hiding under it's giant elephant ears.
...the snap of asparagus' smooth stalk and miniature knobbly point.

...bitter sorrel soup with a smooth velvety finish.
...zipping fingers along the edge of a pod to scoop up the sweet, sugary peas.
...the artichoke, rose of the vegetable patch with it's beautifully shaped "petals", it's unexpected "thorns" and the sweet meat of it's heart.

...hot sun and cool air.
...the smell of dirt soaked in rain.

Spring is an awakening of the senses.
