I am wishing I was in Vancouver at the moment. This is the part of winter here in Michigan where I start getting antsy and wanting it to be over...and there is still a good two months left.

I don't think I've ever tried to eat one even. I'll make sure to try one out next time I see one. Their husks look lovely.

And what a lucky find for Hannah! I remember when I was little finding forgotten veggies in my grandparent's garden. You're growing good memories over there!

Bits of snow cover the ground while the earth itself is quite squishy and muddy just calling out for spring. Just today I noticed how my wild strawberries are that fresh lime green . . . I'm hoping that my pansies will peek back up, but like you, I can see winter turning on us at any second. Wow, do you know the weather is very similar here outside of D.C.?

I sort of feel bound to object to comparing ground cherries to tomatoes since I love the first and quite dislike the second. The carcasses are beautiful, though. Reminds me of my husband's uncle's wife who collects cicada carcasses (and also lives in Vancouver. Hmmm.)

Doesn't bode well for the Olympics though. I can’t believe you ate a carrot! Doesn’t bode well for the Olympics though.
