Spring in a Jar – Arte y Pico Award

There’s some things about Spring time that I LOVE! If I could put them in a jar and have it in my pantry shelf…. during winter cold and dark days I would open the jar and let the smells, sounds and colours fill the room and fill my heart.

Let’s pretend I can do that! First of all, I would grab some scarlet poppies. They are so delicate that immediately after you pick them, they faint. Second, I would somehow manage to get the swallows’ screeches in the jar too.Their wonderful sound cheers me up and makes me feel renewed every spring. Third, I would climb a figs’ tree and collect its precious fruit… that smell and flavour drives me crazy (in the good sense). I would fill the jar and my tummy with sensual ripe figs.
And the fifth ingredient would be a thunderstorm, one of those noisy ones that starts in the afternoon once you are back home and sweeps the sky and the land from dust and dirt and 15 minutes after a shy sun shows behind the clouds and there you are ready to take a deep breath and fill the jar with that awesome and incomparable smell!!!
I’m sending this Jar to sweet Pixie from You say tomatoe I say Tomatoe. She is having the event “Putting up” going until May 21st, click here for details, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to have my Boquerones en vinagre ready on time.

Also I’m sending another Spring jar to Val from More than a burnt toast and to Ivy from Kopiaste because I feel so grateful to them for giving me the Arte y Pico Award!!!
