Summer is Here
Well once again we have had a super short spring and it is now summer - at least is was in my backyard today - 83 degrees F and it is suppose to be the same tomorrow. I got some vegetable seeds planted (spinach, chard, lettuce and radishes) and more raking done. Bob put up the umbrella clothes line and I was able to hang up a couple of loads of laundry (love that!). Last year it was the exact same weather at this time (and it was Easter weekend). It will probably go super cold again in June (it always does) but how nice right now! I look out my window at this moment and the mountains still have a lot of snow on them but down here it is Shorts and a Tank top. Tomorrow I have a choice of going snowshoeing at Nancy Green Summit or walking/hiking over in Glade - Hummm - what to do - grasp the finale of winter or jump into summer?
P.S. Fiddle Head picking starts in two weeks!!!
I find the text hard to read?

What’s so hard about it?

I just find the font seems a bit blurry and the letters are too close together.

I’ve never heard of fiddle heads. Lindsay just told me about them. Will they still be around when we’re there. I’d love to try this “Fiddle Head Picking”

Fiddle Heads are a spring delight. You really have to mark your spot when you finally find them and be able to tell the difference between the edible Fiddle Heads and the scary fiddle heads. They taste to me like a combination of spinach and asparagus with an earthiness to it. They could be ready starting next weekend and of course depending on the weather anytime within the next four weeks. It is a labour of love and culunary delight. If the picking is still good Jeff when you and Lindsay come this way then I will be happy to take you both to my Fiddle Head spot and show you what to look for and help you get a good load to take back to Calgary.
