Spring is in full swing, here... the lilacs are begining to bloom, bluebells are carpeting the floodplains, forsythia and redbud brighten roadsides and forest. We've been spending as much time in the woods as we are able, as well as taking our lessons outdoors. Lots of hiking and climbing foraging and planting (I keep meaning to do a garden post, but haven't gotten to it! Perhaps a regular "this week in the garden" posting schedule will develop)

| Lots of outdoor reading time. We are loving The Burgess Bird Book. Watching and listening to the birds in the garden, after reading about their "suits" and nest building habits is delightful. |

| Some fairies, having tea in a sycamore treehouse, while I harvested some nettles for soup and tea. |

| I've been dreaming of this recipe since asparagus season began. I tried to remember where I first saw a version, but couldn't find it. I made a cauliflower (grainfree) crust and topped it with ricotta, lemon zest, asparagus, and chives. Some parmesan dusted on top. It was amazing (though very floppy, not pizza crusty... I've found that one must sometimes alter expectations with certain recipes, and appreciate it for what it is, rather than what you're replacing/approximating) |
