nearly there...

The first asparagus of the season has arrived!

I am very excited that I am a mere few weeks away from a long relaxing summer in which I can finally get back to working on my many artistic projects. I have successfully conquered the job market, and am very happy with where I'll be teaching next year. Hurrah! Two more weeks of frantic papers and grading and my time will be my own again, if only for a little while.

Right now I'm fighting the urge to ignore all my papers and do watercolor paintings of asparagus spears. I may be developing a problematic asparagus obsession...

Huge congratulations on the job! That is wonderful.
I've never seen an asparagus growing and this shot is gorgeous. I hope it's not too late to do our small garden this year. Have been lazy and feel badly every time I look out and see the raggy leftovers from last autumn. This post helps inspire me.

Asparagus obsession is indeed a worrisome issue ! You may want to think about booking some sessions with AA ... Asparagus Anonymous !
