As you may have noticed, some spring fruit and vegetables showed up on my menu this week -- kale, rhubarb, green onions, rosemary, and asparagus. Not all of it grew in my garden, but having spring foods does perk up the menus. I've been working in the garden this week, and now I eagerly anticipate its bounty.

Sunday is Mother's Day. I want to wish all of you mothers a wonderful Mother's Day. I hope that you celebrate in a way that is meaningful to you. Does any one have any favorite things that they do on Mother's Day?

Have a wonderful weekend!
