Signs of Autumn II
I love when the setting sun lights up the clouds from beneath.
Broad beans and asparagus are finally here! I put them in risotto.
They were delicious.
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.

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.)
In the meadows, on the hills, at the market, and on my table!

Mid-March sees the Arctic Sea Ice Extent peak for the winter and begin
Mustard sprouts are the first crop of the season. I can't wait to
have enough to put on a sandwich!
