Testing testing...   Is this thing on?

My blog today is about currants.  That of Beatrix Potter in scones with tea.  Who knew they actually existed?  Kinda like miniature raisins of sweet little berries.  One tablespoon fills your cereal bowl with dark little tasty spots.  The name is so appetizing and just sounds like goodness.

I’ve gone almost 56 years without ever seeing a bag of them or tasting them fresh.  They were always the little mysterious specs in the muffin or somebody’s fancy bread.  Organic currants in my cereal and yogurt this morning.

Yummy.

Last night peepers filled the air, so it is Spring.

This morning I surprised a fox walking down the front pasture.  He was rusty red with a five o’clock shadow on his side and a bushy tail streaming behind.  His choice was to make for the trail to the side pasture.  Mine was to make sure the chickens were not grazing too far out from the barn.  It was dreary weather, so they were staying under cover.

Waiting for the toads to start singing...
