For Lo The Winter's Gone

And the time has come to eat outside.

Here's my suggestion for a first day of Spring get out of the house wherever you live light meal:  wine and cheese and plenty of time to enjoy both.

The California Temecula valley has amazing wine.  My first day of Spring choice today is the 2007 Estate Zinfandel from the Wilson Creek Vineyard because it's important to remember that we can't always drink their Almond Champagne.  And the cheese? Cotswold and Gouda.
The wine and the cheese are easier to come by than the time.  Sometimes we just have to declare time to sit and savor and feel the change from day to evening and from winter to spring.
Today might be a good day to start claiming our most precious and most fleeting resource -- time.
Take it with or without the wine and cheese.
After all, they will keep.
Time will not.
