and you ask me why I miss rain

we've had a week of unusual weather for this time of the year, to my utter delight, it has been cool and raining all week, and instead of a walk in the neighborhood, Mia and I took a walk in our garden this afternoon and look what's flowering and fruiting :)

wild asparagus (a pic of the omelete will follow, maybe for tomorrow's breakfast)
