A beautiful pink magnolia tree burst into bloom this weekend!

 

And I saw my shadow in the grass.  Does this mean spring is here?  Or, does that only apply to groundhogs in the USA, I wonder.

 

 

And, in the market I found fresh strawberries from Spain. In the USA, many times our berries come from Mexico.  Am I always to eat berries grown by the Spanish?  Ha ha.  In Seattle I consumed the finest berries known to man, grown in Washington state.

 

 

But these Spanish berries will do nicely for now, grazie mille!
