Fresh Mint


Last week we had Mojitos. Yummy mix of lime, mint and rum. I can't believe we paid $4.00 for that tiny box of mint. It grows so plentiful in the garden for most of the year. I closed my eyes when I opened the box. I had to breath in deeply and all at once the essence from the mint made me want to believe winter was over and spring had arrived. For a brief moment I thought of opening my eyes and seeing green every where, but reality set in and I knew that the earth is still asleep in the midwest.
Today the sun is out. There is still snow on the ground and the only way to describe it is "bright". It almost hurts your eyes.
