Spinach Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette
Serves 4
I love this time of year. My flowers are starting to bloom and the weather is warming up. It makes me so happy. The weather really is unseasonable warm like in the 80's. I am not sure I remember it being this warm this early. It is a little scary . . . since we haven't had much rain to speak of yet. My friends just sent me a note about the fire in Boulder, Colorado. I certainly hope and pray that this isn't the beginning of a hot and dry spring and summer. I will keep my fingers crossed. My family is just back from week of spring break vacation. It is a family tradition we have had for over twenty years. We enjoy going to a ranch in the Tuscon area, where we go play cowboys and cowgirls in Arizona. What great fun! I am totally relaxed today. Not feeling any stress. What a nice break. It was HOT in Tuscon and I do mean HOT - they were in the mid 90's by the end of the week. Try riding a horse with boots, jeans, a long sleeve shirts and a hat in that kind of weather. I cannot handle it . . . I can ride all morning, but I cannot handle that heat. The temperatures were so warm . . . they broke a 100+ year old record. I loved my vacation but honestly I am so glad to be home where we are only in the 80's.
