'WONDERING' AROUND IN THE GARDEN

Our garden is growing.

 Plump, imperfectly proportioned tomatoes 

don't last long in this bowl.

When they have magically morphed 

from a Granny Smith green

into a voluptuous, ripe red,

they are promptly 

picked, peeled, and prepped

for a smooth ragout.

Our green onions

stand strong, as they struggle

against windstorms,

but manage to stay put,

thanks to deep rooted bulbs - 

looking like anchors washed up

on a secluded, sandy shore.

Look at the pretty, 

purple petals

of  the flowering eggplant 

and its older sibling below it -

isn't all so amazingly miraculous?

It's unbelievable

that these orange

tree-top 'tulips'

will bloom

into robust, bordeaux beauties

bursting with a host

of health benefits.

What gorgeous goodies

are growing in your garden?

Thanks so much for visiting

and

Happy Fourth of July 

to all my American friends!
