Climate is what we expect; weather is what we get....

Mark Twain said that and after 85+ temperatures mid week, we got this on Saturday:


The look is adorable in January, but this is the 14th of May.


Most of the time, you bring a few fun bags to market, not your afghan.  Check out the shoppers on the right peering from hoods.


But this has been a Tulip Spring.  Warmer temperatures burn them up too early.  Lor Chang's lily-flowered tulips were stunning.


Dress for warmth, floods or  fly fishing


It does look like spring behind the Madison Sourdough crew....that's the garden waiting for you from Indian Trail greenhouses. 


This has got to be the best way to travel...ever.


Another version of making lemons into lemonade.  This purple loosestrife  flower honey from B's Honey is amazing.  (Note:  we are NOT burying the botanical hatchet with the plant, but as long as it's still around, why not throw a little free-market economics at it.)  If you can't beat it, eat it.  (The pumpkin flower honey was sold out; you must try that too. No, it doesn't taste like pumpkins....more like an afternoon in August)


Kale plants at West Star Farms were confused....May or November?


The very thing for a day like this.....
