Anticipation...Anticipay-ay-tion is making me wait...keeping

Category: Sharing the Joy with Others | Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 6:45 pm

The long winter is over. Camping indoors in front of the online dating sites, looking wistfully at the Raintree catalog and with regret at the several feet of snow outside has given way to SPRING!!!!!!! My daycare children share my love of gardening. We have had our cool season garden planted (and added to on an almost daily basis) since early April. Our first window box salad is now on our plates. Of course, my 23 year old son and I had to test out all of the great salad fixings first...just to make sure there was nothing wrong with any of it!!!!

I casually mentioned to my son that the lettuce is ready to eat, then found myself in the middle of an invitation to make a great salad with it. So... I puttered around the herb garden and the yard and added basil, oregano, parsley, walking onion stalk, carrots, kale, perpetual spinach,and Italian dandelion to the window box lettuce. The only thing that wasn't from the garden (besides the peppercorn Ranch dressing) was the pickled pepper rings. I reminisced to my son that he had "tasted" this for the first time when I had been pregnant with him. "Yeah, I remember!", he smiled!
