“It's Spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want—oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” 

- Mark Twain

Perhaps that is why I took pictures of Asparagus today. Perhaps that is why I felt compelled to look at each tender and verdant, purple tinged stalk as though it were the loveliest thing I had seen in a very long time.

Because I am feverish and longing for Spring.
