I love when the setting sun lights up the clouds from beneath.

Such a luxury when sunny spots coincide with comfy spots.

Broad beans and asparagus are finally here! I put them in risotto.
They were delicious.

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:29:14 -0700 I saw a swan http://emily.posterous.com/i-saw-a-swan http://emily.posterous.com/i-saw-a-swan

Here's a video I took of a swan preening its feathers on the Water of
Leith, near St. Bernard's Well. This swan's mate was a few yards down
the river, paddling about in the sun. The rocks here seem to be
popular, because a few days later, we saw children sunning themselves
in the same spot.

I'm a bit late in posting this, since we saw the swan last month when
the weather was still nice. It was the day we tried to walk to Pizza
Express to use our voucher, but it was full and we went to a little
Italian bistro instead. When this dreary weather clears up, we'll try
again. Meanwhile, homemade pizza for dinner tonight; stewed rhubarb
and custard for dessert.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 07:51:57 -0700 Signs of Spring 4: Sunny spots http://emily.posterous.com/signs-of-spring-4-sunny-spots http://emily.posterous.com/signs-of-spring-4-sunny-spots
During the Winter the sun comes straight through our south-facing windows and falls on the kitchen wall.  Come Spring, it slides down to the floor, making lively sunny patches for the cat to bask in.  (At least in theory.  The cat is now obstinately asleep under the bed.)

Graphic: National Snow and Ice Data Center (nsidc.org)

Mid-March sees the Arctic Sea Ice Extent peak for the winter and begin
its descent. I was delighted to see the little blue line venture into
the grey band that marks two standard deviations from the 1979-2000
mean, for the first time in recent memory. I may obsess about sea ice
a bit; this daily graphic is my home screen.

Mustard

Mustard sprouts are the first crop of the season. I can't wait to
have enough to put on a sandwich!
