And now sun is shining...

17 years ago

And I am at work but new seeds are coming and finally forecast is showing promise of the spring- will get my containers open and start conditioning them for transplanting- I have my hare's tail and little bunny grass, mountain flox hitting the roof of containers by now.

It ain't shining here yet. It's in the high 40's, but it's way wet and the wind is blowing in the 30's so it feels much colder.

Ugh.

I made a pot of cream of asparagus soup using asparagus from our garden. I mostly followed the recipe from here: Cream of Asparagus Soup but as I usually do, changed it on the fly, resulting in the following as-made recipe: Cream of Asparagus Soup serves 3-4 2 cups of asparagus (cut into 3/4" pieces) 1 cup yellow onion (chopped) 1 1/2 cup water 1 tsp Better than bouillion (chicken) 2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 2 pinch black pepper 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup half and half 2 tsp lemon juice 1/4 cup sour cream In a large saucepan, combine asparagus, chopped onion, 1 pinch of pepper, 1/2 tsp of bouillon and 1 cup water. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer covered until asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Process the mixture using a stick blender to puree the vegetables. Set aside. In the different saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and the other pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Whisk in the 1/2 cup water and the other 1/2 tsp of bouillon, and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Stir in the asparagus puree and the half and half, and heat to a low simmer. Remove from heat, whisk in sour cream and lemon juice. Serve. .

I think you are imagining things. How do we know you're really seeing the sun? Are you hallucinating? I'm just teasing you. I hope we all get to see the sun again before we forget what it looks like.

If I had white or light furniture I would go darker! Right now the walls go really black at night. They are Cypress Green (Duron) I have dark Cherry rice bed and furniture. The bedding is light so that helps.

It's 51 degrees here and no wind. I'm glad we are having a nice day because Tomorrow is supposed to be only 40 and rain all day.
I had a relative pass away last night. so it's WS like mad today and housework tomorrow. then I will have to go out of town for a couple of days.

Sun shone a little bit here today, but those God-awful winds made it too darn cold - again! Awaiting the big rain storm that is supposed to come through Sunday and Monday, and hoping that it IS only rain.

Condolences to you Cinda. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We have a nor-easter headed our way--it looks to slam us this Sunday and Monday.

What Trudi said, 50+ mph winds and 2-5 inches of flooding rain if forecasters here are correct.

I opened somewhat tops of many containers, forecast says that it will be above freezing for now and got columbines, gentians and foxgloves out of greenhouse into open cold frame. Am planning to start planting them into ground in a couple of days, weather permitting, of course.

You poor people in the eastern part of the country. What crappy weather you are having. The spring season here has been so nice. We've had a few cool spells but nothing major. We are really in the need for moisture. Our snowpack is lower than it's been in 30 years.
