“You’re always you, and that don’t change, and you’re always changing, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” ~Neil Gaiman
The wild green onion doesn’t get the love it deserves. It’s the first thing to come up in spring, peppering the dead brown yard with hopeful green tufts. But it’s the first mow of the season where it really works its magic, releasing one of the most delicious odors to ever tickle my olfactory senses. Some folks enjoy cooking the wild green onion. I’ve never personally done it, and I don’t recall ever eating cooked wild green onions, but I understand they’re a delicacy to some. Leo (and Lily) often nibble on them when given the chance (here, clearly, not being given said chance). The Booker T and the MG’s hit, Green Onions, was also one of my favorite songs as a kid. I played the 45 over and over and over and over again. For years. Yes, I love wild green onions. They have been good to me.
