Back to Winter

As the first sign of spring, butterbur sprouts came out last week.

Like many Japanese who live in the country side, I have been wanting to pick them to eat, but I have not had a chance until today.

Unfortunately it was snowing this morning, so my "spring hunt" was not quite warm like a spiring day.

Yet, it was nice to see the plant covered in light snow, giving me a sense of vitality of life in spring.

After taking a photo of them, I pick out several buds and fed one to my favorite horse and the rest to myself.
