When Terry and I were over getting the equipment ready for the consignment sale, the mailman arrived at our house.   That in-and-of-itself is not unusual, we have a really nice mail person who delivers any large bundles of mail right to our doorstep.  Usually our mail comes after lunch sometime.

But not this day, which was really strange.  Before 9:30 in the morning the mail arrived at our back step.  We weren’t home.  Neither were the dogs…our mail person is afraid of the really LOUD Beagle :).  (The beagle is just loud, not mean.)

When we got back to the house a little after 9:30 there sat our mail and a really nice package.

Full of fresh California asparagus straight from her farm!

In excellent shape!!

I quickly trim the ends, stuck them in water in the refrigerator where they perked right up!

Since then we’ve had asparagus for our lunches (our big meal of the day).  

Our asparagus will not start showing up until late April so having this rich, delicious taste of spring is a rare treat!

Thank you so much, Jan!

A very spoiled and happy friend,

Linda
