Photo unearthed, salad extraordinaire

Just as I was about to commence making my springtime shrimp and grits, T called to say he needed to work late. Plan B was another fab-o kale salad, chock full of garlic-n-toppings plus a wedge of Humboldt Fog just cuz. Delicious! And, because it's almost my bday, I indulged in two glasses of the magnificent Pinot Noir from Iron Horse and read the entire Science section from today's NY Times. Bliss. www.em-i-lis.com

Who else feels they've not seen this picture ↘ enough lately? Moi! So, here it/he is! I'm telling you, if those eyes came a'purring towards me....

Because really, is enough ever enough? I'd ask for BC for my birthday, but I think I'm getting a chaise lounge for my backyard + a tortilla press which, obviously, together make the closest second a gal could imagine.

I've had just enough wine to be on the right side of caring that snowflakes are tiptoeing from the sky -they'll be gone by morning- and am off to jump into, gasp!, the front section of today's paper.

Miracles.
