Let's take a literary pause ... Happy First Day of Spring!
Up early, per usual and on the road. Just before sunrise, the St. Pete sky was awash in spring hues.

Here are a few more spring things for this special day. Sprigs of basil, rosemary and cilantro from my maybe-they-will-grow-if-I'm-lucky, herb garden. I just learned to pinch the flowers off the basil, so the sprigs of flowers are in a tiny vase. The sprigs make my kitchen smell as if I'm cooking. I'm not. I'm blogging and soon will be writing. That too is per usual, spring, summer, fall and winter.
