So this is why I live in Madison...

• Friday afternoon at the Union Terrace

• Lovely veggie sushi dinner at Takara on State St.

• The Dane County Farmer's Market.  How many places can you register as a member of the Socialist Party while enjoying handfuls of hot, spicy cheese bread right out of the bag?

• Tasty Italian soup with kale and chard from our CSA box (Thanks, A, for the recipe)

• Saving room for Chocolate Shoppe ice cream

In the winter, it's hard for me to remember why anyone would ever want to live in the Midwest.  After a day like yesterday, I can forget that not so long ago, I considered this a warm and pleasant day.

 

What do you love about where you live?  What makes it worth sticking it out through the unpleasant times?
