I like to sit at this window to read and to take in the view as spring gradually changes the landscape and summer approaches. Fiddleheads and rhubarb are a couple of the wild plants that are delicacies of the season that I look forward to. Today I baked a rhubarb custard pie.

How can we get together and not enjoy good dinners with fantastic wines? These are a given.

I have also found time to photograph the season's landscapes around my home territory. Here is a selection of these images.
