Spring metaphors

This is when I know it's officially spring…. when asparagus appears in lovely green bunches at the market. Also, the multi-colored carrots have been showing up occasionally and are such a treat. The pale yellow version is light and crunchy compared to the traditional carrot.
This asparagus was simply prepared by washing, trimming, tossing in olive oil, salt, pepper, and sautéing. 
Roasted multi-colored carrots seasoned with olive oil and cumin. Carrot is a member of the parsley family so cumin, coriander, parsley all compliment the taste perfectly. 
This was a pleasant surprise while walking around the yard this morning.
This small cluster of crocus really perks up the landscape.
