Apparently, I am not able even to successfully kill a plant. I have discovered that the tiny micro-parsley from last year survived in the backyard contrary to my efforts to cultivate the soil... and so it grows back, just outside my small plot. Smaller and tinier, but it is a survivor!

The Wyoming winter does not kill everything either. It always seems that spring is not coming, for ages, and then we get three days of spring followed by summer immediately. Saturday trip to the Snowy Range mountains was finished by hiking on the lowest positioned trail, which was a nice change from the winter-ish microclimate on top,

and honestly, the only hikeable trail there so far.

The nature is waking up over there even later than in Laramie, but with almost brutal force and determination. It was a day filled with soft light and warm air. No mosquitoes (yet), no other people, no injuries... an almost perfect day ended by another cooking experiment (breaded cauliflower).

 Sunday was filled with some physical work and I felt I deserved a good American dinner, particularly a burger. The half-pounder didn't seem that big in its raw form, but it stayed that big even after it was done...  and boy was it good with avocado, spinach and grilled veggies on the side! :D
