See what I mean?
Dogwood buds do indeed look like E.T. heads (and chickpeas). In just a few weeks the ghost trees in my neighborhood will be making their (fleeting) appearance.
Whenever the seasons turn, I love seeing other people’s blog posts—and photos—about these changes. Back in February a guy in Portland was talking about forsythia blooms, last month someone in South Carolina showed off the daffodils in her yard, and right now I’m telling you all about my dogwoods.

Don’t forget to enter my cookbook contest. (Please! I need to find a good home for these books!)
Real-life/local friends are eligible to enter. And though the thought of rigging the draw so I don’t have to give any money to the USPS is tempting, rest assured that local friends have no more chance to win than far-off ones.
And if your own shelves are groaning under the weight of too many cookbooks and you don’t want to enter the contest, that’s fine. But please do feel free to share your tales of cooking woes and triumphs!
*sigh* Do potholes count as signs of spring? That’s about all we have so far…
I didn’t know what dogwoods were until I lived in Japan, where they lined the streets of my little town. Unfortunately they don’t seem to do well out in Zone 9. Can’t wait to see yours bloom!
