Spring seems busy this year, crazy-busy, and in a few days time there are all sorts of uncalled for changes.  I rather like the early days when bleakness is still evident.  Soon the fuss of summer will be upon us and then what?  Then what, indeed.

The good news is Hadley asparagus.  I bought my second bunch yesterday.  The first bunch, purchased about ten days earlier, was $5.00.  This one?  $4.50.  And of course the nutty flavor and the mysterious depth of these spears are pretty enchanting.

Meanwhile, it’s a road show over the next eight days: NYC, Chicago, dogs and ponies, and what have you.
