Still trying to catch up from saving (losing?) that daylight hour and am slow to pull myself out of bed. The dark morning is hard but the extra evening light is worth it. Yesterday (Saturday), I worked for a few hours hosting the lovely author and chef Leticia Moreinos Schwartz with her new book\u00a0The Brazilian Kitchen: 100 Classic and Contemporary Recipes for the Home Cook – <\/em>a beautiful cookbook I had to buy myself after salivating over the photos and recipes like Red Pepper and Brazil Nut Pesto or Avocado Creme Brulee. Yum. \u00a0And the little sweet treats she brought for customers to taste – Brigadeiros – were scrumptious. \u00a0Food and good people – I was able to forget that it was a beautiful, first day of spring and I was inside. \u00a0And there was plenty of time in the remaining afternoon and evening to work in the garden.<\/p>\n

When I got home, we leveled a Rose O Sharon shrub hovering over the corner of my vegetable garden for too many years. \u00a0I am loathe to cut down trees and shrubs where the birds might hang out. Not yesterday. \u00a0Without sentiment, we brought it down, opening up that corner \u00a0that has always become overgrown, blocking the sun from my tomato plants. \u00a0What bugged me most about this shrub was the shoots that spring up all around it – a flower garden next to the garage, the corner behind that we have been trying with little success to claim from the weeds and determined raspberry shoots. \u00a0Hundreds of little twigs that are Rose O Sharon offspring – they are poking out already, some tenaciously stuck in there, resisting my yanks. We worked for hours into the evening, the sky turning a deeper blue to dark with a sliver smile of moon up above. Ah, spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
