Well, it seems like March went by in the blink of an eye... if you don't count the snow storms and all the other myriad complications that find their way into daily life. :)<br />
<br />
I've had this little pot of cyclamen in my kitchen window since February. They have been blooming away like mad, so they must enjoy the north light. Some days, their perky pink blossoms were probably the only things between me and the madhouse.<br />
<br />
I do not like winter.<br />
<br />
But spring is here, even if it was too long in coming. And it's still mighty cold of a morning. But the crocus and the snowdrops are out, and the hellebores are not far behind. And the birds are singing! Wow, are they ever singing! So my little pot of cyclamen can stand down.<br />
<br />

I felt it was time to interrupt the parade of foodstuffs which has recently graced these pages. Don't be alarmed -- I'm still playing with my food, and shall resume my studies forthwith. (How often do you get to use the word "forthwith?" I couldn't resist.) Anyway, here are two of my other favorite subjects -- books and flowers. And I probably should warn you -- I've got a pomegranate waiting in the wings. ;)Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653813197390045418.post-90712905752783591662012-11-26T06:00:00.000-05:002012-11-26T06:00:05.982-05:00artichokes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry about all the food here for the past few weeks, but I seem to be fascinated by food lately. To photograph, not to eat.

I can't resist an apple with with it's leaf still attached. And you already know that <a href="http://inasoftlight.blogspot.com/2012/07/playing-with-my-food.html" target="_blank">I play with my food</a>.
