Colchicum, also known as autumn crocus, is in full bloom right now.
This is not the saffron crocus and cannot be safely eaten.

Very few things in life are perfect and those are usually fleeting.
I nominate this bowl of strawberries for today's honour.

Equinox has come and gone. We are just past the pink full moon. Easter is about to arrive.
The cycle of the seasons continues as do I.

The very best of the Vernal Equinox to all in the Northern Hemisphere.

Marmalade morning with friends.
5 kilos of Seville oranges will become marmalade over 3 hours. There will be time for socializing and story telling on this International Women's Day.
Comfort on toast for the rest of the year.
