Dreaming of Spring Salmon

It's hard to believe last Friday morning we had almost a foot of snow. The weekend turned really nice and warm, melting lots of snow. We almost forgot about winter. The weather was so nice on Thursday, close to 70, Joe had to leave his work early afternoon to hit the break walls to fish for spring salmon. He missed one after 3 hours and saw a guy on a boat catch one. Next day, Friday, I patiently waited Joe to get off work, bought my new season fishing license, then we went out to the lake. It was just nice to just sit in the sun, with most of the ice gone. After 2 hours absolutely no fish, but very picturesque views: blue water, clear sky, lighthouse, and even cityscapes.
All for a taste of fresh salmon. Earlier this week I made sushi rolls with the last of fall salmon stored in the freezer, dreaming of catching that first salmon of the season. This day I made a pork wrapped asparagus dish, which was also a taste of spring. I guess it's worth taking our time noticing many little seasonal changes, especially from cold winter to spring. This coming week may bring us some more snow, but we'll continue dreaming... of spring.
