For me, March and April are the hardest months to survive the Midwest. By this time of year, I am in desperate need to take a vacation in some warm place and without a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, I am generally tired of trying to eat as close to home as possible. But it's also the time of year when I feel excited about what is to come. Saturday was a beautiful day. I took Caroline for a walk in the woods and we found buds on the shrubs - yes buds! And lots of them. Spring seems like it is finally just around the corner...and with it will come early Michigan crops like spinach and other greens...and before I know it (around the early part of May) two of my favorite foods will be available at the farmers' market and grocery stores: asparagus and strawberries!
