The menu featured a leek and garden pea soup, followed by a burst of spring spinach salad. The main course consisted of fresh asparagus quiche with roasted butternut squash with caramelized onions. Desert was a rhubarb crisp.
Local produce included asparagus and rhubarb from our friend Tim Gallagher. We had music by caregiver, Sarah Frazier, and Bill Barnum read a number of his dramatic original poems.
