It was juicy and delicious. They come up out of the dirt perfectly clean. I guess they really form in the air, not underground. I took a walk in the neighborhood, adorned with flowers, shrubs, and trees. Remembering the last chimney sweep dancing down Cherry Tree Lane in the cool spring night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0058331\/trivia\" target=\"_blank\">IMDB: Mary Poppins trivia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Backstory: I love the end of the chimney sweep sequence in Disney&#8217;s Mary Poppins. Where the sweeps dissipate into the dark, cavorting down the curved brick lane lined with blossoming trees. I haven&#8217;t watched the movie in years, but I used to ritually watch it every spring. Mostly for that minute. I had read P.L. Travers&#8217; books before the movie, so I was steeped in the mysterious Poppins and able to overlook some of the vulgarity of the film version. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1293-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1293\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1293-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1293-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1293-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1292-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1292\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1292-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1292-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1292-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I nibbled on my first asparagus shoot today.
