I would like to report that the "celebration of spring" ceremony went off without a hitch today. Blooming baby bulbs that look like japanese iris, magnolia trees preparing to bloom, the amazing swirls of the ranunculus petals, and a redbird calling for his mate. The scent of gardenias drifting out to us. Not one speck of beauty escaped our notice.
We went to the Blue Bird Bistro for lunch. I couldn't decide between the vegetable stuffed sweet potato or the bacon corn chowder.
I did what any smart person would do. I had both. The sweet potato seemed so healthy. I felt it only right to balance it out with some bacon. When trying out a new restaurant you have to sample more than one dish. I can now say with some authority that Blue Bird Bistro was consistently delicious today.
Because you are so very smart!!! Looks as though you had a great celebration of spring. xx

Of course you ordered both...only a dummy would' t try a couple, at least. I hope your lunch mate ordered a couple of things too so you could each have a little sample of each dish. And I love the name of the place.
Me, I'm hooked on Pho', the Vietnamese dish consisting of a delicious broth of either beef, chicken, pork with noodles and some kind of meat with Thai Basil, Lime, Jalepenos. It's so good I have dreams about it. I'm convinced it's a legal drug. I could eat it every day, morning, noon, or night.

Stunning photos! They are very small meals... maybe they do it that way so you have to mix n match :)
