mmmm, asparagus

by up10ad | Thu May 14, 2009 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

All along the irrigation ditch that runs adjacent to our property we have the best volunteer asparagus. On any given day we can just take a walk and pick as much as we need for a great snack or dinner compliment. It is so yummy.

Preparing for big yard/moving sale. Yes, those are pigs on MC on my head.
