Even here on the Riviera, where the sun seems to shine for days on end, the winters can begin to feel long. "Jacket weather" usually begins in November and with the exception of a few odd days here and there, usually doesn't end until mid to late March. With the gorgeous beaches just minutes away, we begin to get antsy for that first splash in the Mediterannean each year. The last couple of weeks have brought a significant change in the weather, and the feeling of spring is definitely in the air. The air temp is still a tad cool and brisk (but I am ADORING these temperatures, especially with the little "heater" that is growing in my belly). Tulips are beginning to bloom, the smell of fresh cut grass is in abundance, and citrus season has arrived! In our backyard, we have a young lemon tree and an orange tree, and I snapped this photo, before "harvesting" the five lemons that consist of this year's haul. Tonight's menu will include salmon with a lemon sauce and Perrier with fresh cut lemons in the glass!
