Every RV has a sunny windowsill if it is parked in the right direction. And on a sunny windowsill, you can grow your own little herb garden. |

May is when fluffy white clouds float across clear blue skies. It is when the sun shines through small leaves, and the soft earth becomes carpeted with apple blossoms. May is when birds and butterflies return from their long travels south. It is when the sun is warm, and breezes are rich and sweet. |

It’s April and the “getaway bug” is surely biting those who have been cooped up all winter. This is the season to come out of hibernation— it’s also the time of year to think about shedding that excess weight gained during the winter months when we’re more apt to indulge in the heavier comfort foods. And that usually means more salads. |

In order to endure March, ‘tis said one must keep one’s nose out of the wind like the seagulls do. They swoop and soar, turn and twist, with the winds pushing and whipping them about. And when there’s a storm brewing, they quietly settle down in a freshly turned field with their noses to the ground. |

Benjamin Franklin once said that “some people are weather-wise, some are otherwise.”
Being weather-wise requires sensitivity to nature and a willingness to watch the weather; it requires a reverence for the workings of nature. |

If you live in the Northwest and have grown tired of the cold and wet of winter, you may have already packed up your RV and headed for the sunny Southwest. But if you are staying in the Northwest, you can still bring some sunshine into your life with the citrus fruits that are in such abundance these days. Those tangy grapefruit, juicy oranges and tangerines are winter gifts of nature that take some of the chill out of the weather and add a taste of sunshine to winter meals with their fresh flavors and happy colors. |
