Here in southwestern British Columbia, we keep having brief flurries of snow 
that melt in an hour or two. Yesterday,
as Mother and I walked in the wild, big flakes were falling. She pointed at 
stubby, ruffly shoots not yet blanketed in white.

"It's almost time."

 "For?" I squinted. "Oh, you mean lasagne."

"Right."

Every year, to celebrate spring, we pick young nettles and layer them into a
riccotta lasagne. Delicious. Heat kills the sting but not the flavor.
