Spring is all about being outside for me. It is where I am the happiest. Jim is lucky to get any kind of food at all during this time of the year. There is so much to be done! I've been nursing 70 little babies. Grape vine babies to put in a nursery row on my sister's property. They are a varietal, Blanc du Bois, that will do well in her sandy Texas coastal soil. The garden also needs constant attention. I did cook a little bit this week for the Spring Fling at Jain's................... 
Mixed greens with smoked salmon and crispy won ton's. Roasted chicken with a red pepper sauce. For dessert ~ creme brulee. 
And back to the garden.................................................
Cheers!Ry
