A MEETING IN MAUVE

Happy Canada Day, this Monday,  

to all my Canadian friends!

It's been almost a week 

since my last post and first swim!

 On Thursday, 
I hosted a meeting
 for a philanthropic society
 that I recently joined.

 The days leading up to it
had been spent
 cleaning, baking, 
styling and prepping.

Twelve lovely ladies,

 each a resident of our quaint little village,

arrived promptly at six.

Too hot and sunny to sit in the garden,
we made ourselves comfortable indoors.

Among all the thoughtful gifts,

our Mrs. President presented me

with fresh, organic fruit from her garden, 

and the inspiration for this post!

How would you define this duo?

Upon first glance, 

I guessed, ''Cherries!"

But cherries have a longer stem.

Taking a closer look

at this mysterious bunch,

 sans stems, 

 it was all too clear

that cherries, they were not!

Plump and juicy

rosé and robust,

these tiny plums

are a miniature must!

Their purple swirls

and dark pink twirls

pointed me towards the garden-

a melting pot of these four hues:

plum and purple

pink and blue

showed up for a meeting 

in a dreamy, mauve bloom!

Thanks for 'attending'
