Spring Manifesto

By Tara, on May 21st, 2009

I love the changing season and I love to celebrate each of them with their own fresh, local food, flora and yarn-y inspirations.  Each season I make a little list of the pleasures I want to soak in. I call them manifestos, but they’re really just love letters to the season.

Reading Havi’s list of things-to-do-before-she-dies, I realized that these seasonal lists are my own little things-to-do-before-the-moment-passes. And goodness! Spring is nearly gone without a proper love letter.

I hope to keep listing these, every Thursday, as a reminder to soak it in over the weekend (and as a mid-week cheer-up).

This week,  Spring is feeling like a great time for:

  • Finding floral inspiration
  • Eating lots of strawberries
  • Making jam
  • Starting the garden
  • Sorting Easter Egg dyes
  • Baking tasty things

I did a few of these things last weekend, I’ll be sharing them with you soon!

What do you like to do to celebrate Spring?

    Along with eating berries fresh out of hand, I am working on putting berries up in the freezer so we have some throughout the year when there are not fresh berries. Because Florida doesn't have a spring (or a fall for that matter), I don't have a lot of seasonal focus other than not dying of heat.

    Yesterday, I welcomed spring by buying asparagus and new potatoes from local farmers at the market and making a salad with them :) Your strawberries look great, enjoy them!

    Ooh, I love asparagus! We've been eating a lot of it – over pasta and on pizzas!
