Thursday

look at that poor little sick crusty adorable face.  i mean, really.

Yesterday it was like our town was yelling, "Welcome Home!," in a sweet, happy, springish sort of way.  We spent the day raking up leaves and clippings and branches and burning them in a gigantic bonfire, doing massive amounts of laundry, and catching up with our neighbors.  We basked in the Home Sweet Home-ness of it all.  The work was gratifying, the air was cool, the sun was toasting, the company was delightful.  We capped off the day with some bonfire-roasted potatoes, grilled steaks, and our favorite March vegetable, asparagus.  It was lovely.

Sister, I wrapped them in a double layer of heavy suty aluminum foil. Our fire was still really hot, so I made a big packet with all the potatoes inside together. They cooked pretty perfectly in about a half an hour!
