Green & white

Yesterday in the afternoon I went for a walk again. I try to spend some time outside, walking slowly and trying to gain some color in my face. I was told last Friday in hospital that my face looks completely green. :) Yes, it was green week, what else could it have been!? I took photos with lots of green yesterday, enjoying my short walk.For my lunch I had this:
It is dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), which will later have those sickly yellow flowers. Not the one on the photo though, I ate it all. I have never liked it because it is rather bitter and I don't like bitter food. This time I said to myself: "Girl, you don't look only green but also yellow, so this leaves will be good for your health." I cut it into small pieces and added some pressed garlic, raisins, sunflower seeds and lots of pumpkin seed oil (which is traditionally used in that part of Slovenia where Mr Ž comes from). It was delicious. Oil actually covered the bitter taste of dandelion. I am sure I will have it more often from now on. Yesterday it was the second time in my life when I was eating it.

In the evening I went to the Botanical gardens where every now and then a lecture is given. This time it was about Patagonia. A girl who had been there in January and February showed us some really nice photos and I spent a pleasant hour thinking of where I should go on holiday this year. If no further, I have chosen to go to France or Norway. Or Estonia? I think Eva would be happy about this. I think that after 5 years of having no proper vacation, it might be time to pack my rucksack and go for a ride. However, I have learned that I shouldn't make too big promises to myself.

This morning I woke up and I was rather shocked when I looked out through the window. Snow? It is still snowing but I hope it melts quickly. Fortunately my tulips haven't started to bloom yet. White week, or what? I think I will stick to green.
