On Monona Bay today

It was crazy warm today, so David and I strolled down to the bay, binoculars in hand. The ice is long gone.

In evidence were the usual mallards and muskrats and geese, as well as coots, loons (so pretty!), and a group of buffle-head ducks.

I’m thinking about doing a CSA half-share this summer; there’s a well-reputed farm that delivers a few blocks from the house. It will be a Cooking Adventure if I do it, because I am not very good at whomping things up from whatever’s to hand, but I daresay I can adjust… and I’d never try half the neat stuff if I had to make up my mind to buy it at the farmer’s market.

We’ll see. Haven’t entirely decided yet.
