Augusta Carrots

I did not know carrots could be so delicious. I like carrots, and I've had tasty carrots before, but never like this. We went to Augusta for dinner last night. They were out of the stewed greens, and since I was going for the warm bread, I decided a vegetable would be a good choice. I opted for the carrots. They came on a little side plate. It was a real carrot - not one of those rolled and tumbled baby carrots. The first bite was incredible - cooked but still crisp - a buttery and flavorful mouthful. The best carrots I have ever tasted. The creamed corn was pretty darn tasty, too and well as our entrees. But the carrots - who knew?

Bull Robin

Easter Sunday I spent the day in the garden. It is one of the activities that helps me to get into a Zen mode and stay focused on one activity at a time. It also made me think about how each type of plant has certain requirements to thrive, and so do people, and myself, I need to see the ocean soon. As I was gardening, I had the pleasure of the companionship of this robin, getting plumper by the minute as he gobbled up worms and grubs.
