Yearning for spring

Only sixty five days until the Equinox, but that is too far away.  I did a survey of our food stores and found out that I am on the last bag of dried tomatoes and the last quart of frozen green beans from my garden.  There's only a pint left of the leeks and a quart of the okra I scored at the Seymour farmers' market in August.  The Stellick family gave us brussels sprouts from their garden but we'll be eating the last frozen pint of those today.

In less than a week, summer will be over, at least in my freezer.  I yearn for the end of April when I can go out scavenging for wild asparagus again.  Meanwhile, I look over the seed catalogs and plan a much bigger vegetable garden.
