Did I mention that it’s asparagus season?
Last weekend we decided to ‘double our pleasure’ and have asparagus for both a first course and a vegetable.
Mon mari is a firm believer in never being able to have too much asparagus.
As a good wife I feel obligated to accommodate him.
The things I do to keep him happy.
Sigh…..
These were fun – and skipping a crust of any sort made them light enough for a first course and very quick and easy.

Are you enjoying the election year so far?
Exciting times, yes?
I especially appreciate how everyone has maintained such dignity in the primaries and the debates. Watching polite interchanges between well-behaved candidates is a pleasure.
And the way they all stick so assiduously to the facts and the truth…..
Well, I just think it shows a true respect for the democratic process we all hold so dear.
Of course, living on this side of the pond I don’t get all of the ads and updates that most Americans do.
Sometimes, I just have to accept my lot and contemplate the sunsets.
Sunsets are even prettier with the lake….
Note to self: Tell mon mari to get out there and sling some mud, er, I mean, move his dirt pile.
The lake at the bottom of your field has become such a beautiful focal point.
The pond does look beautiful.
Love the pond and pix.
Gill, it really has added a lot to our view. I’m glad they did it (as long as they don’t decide to do poly-tunnels to go with it,.,,)
Bob, the reflection makes the whole field lighter…. We’re thinking of adding a park bench to the other side 😉
Phoenicia, we think we’re going to have baby ducks soon to add to the fun.
