Just in case I haven't mentioned it before... I love asparagus season! And the little corner of the world where I live is known for producing great asparagus. This season I may be consuming a little more than my fair share...but it is SO good! I love...really love roasted asparagus. Although I think I may be the only one in my family who is happy that there are at least two more weeks left in the season! The same could be said for rhubarb... my kids do not share my obsession with the tart, pink, deliciousness...but I am really enjoying the flavours of spring this year and they are learning to like them...they don't seem to match my level of excitement until strawberry season hits.
The other sign of spring that I can not get enough of is lilacs!
After fruit blossoms, my favourite spring flower is definitely lilacs.
I love how lilacs perfume the air...
I love the variations in colour...
I love how simple the individual flowers are...
and I love bringing in an armful and grouping them together...
Waking up to the scents and sights of spring are one of life's small pleasures.
and I am learning that it is the small things that make the biggest difference.
It's been great to move back to BC during the spring and to be greated with all the lilacs that I remembered so fondly. I too love their fragrance and colour.
