Fiddlehead Reel



Here's a sign of spring to come... I found these fiddlehead images, and really liked them. Why you ask? They are graceful in their curves and coils, nicely textured with the 'skins' and fluffy fern edges, totally organic (as long as you're careful where you pick them), and just plain FUN. I know it'll be a few months before picking time, but thinking about spring things is a nice way to get through these last days of January.

I recently heard (at Club-E) that January 24th is the most depressing day of the year. The newspaper article listed a few reasons... holidays are done and over, tax season is upon us, credit card bills are coming in fast and furious, we've gained a few extra pounds, it's cold and gray outside, etc. A good friend celebrates his birthday on the 24th, so it's not too dreary for him or anyone around him (he's a pretty happy guy).

The up side of all this is... the 24th has come and GONE. That means we're on an up-swing toward spring, yahooo! The dreary days are behind us now!

The Fiddlehead Reel comes from the Fakebook.
