Isn’t it fun to watch the seasons change? I think this has to be one of the most favorite times of the year. (Well, fall is great too, feeling that first crisp breeze and extracting all the soup recipes is fun, right ? )

Seeing all that green popping up everywhere and watching all the buds on the trees grow and the flowers blooming… It feels like a rejuvenation in so many ways… I even started changing the way I think about the recipes and meals I plan for a week.
