There's something so inspiring about Spring. It's not my favorite season, perhaps I've spent too many years out West where spring means mud season in addition to everything else. Still, as I look out the window to see sunlight pouring from the sky and the wind slipping gently through leaves of grass I wonder why it's not. Everything is green and gold with hints of color peeking out everywhere as blossoms threaten to burst forth from the bushes and trees. It's a moment of anticipation as we watch the magic of nature waking up from her winter hibernation. In some places blossoms are already lying heavy and full along tree branches that have yet to find their leaves. Suddenly there are freshly snipped herbs garnishing our dishes and the riot of color and light makes us itch to get cooking. It's a wonderful time of year. What inspires you today?
