outdoors




I’ve grown accustomed to my yard.
I stomp the earth beneath my boots.
The flowers growing make me happy
And the beans all make me snappy…
~inhale slowly-exhale slowly~
Ah yes… I’ve grown accustomed to my yard.

(Find some time to enjoy the outdoors.)

    Thanks Gary. I never really appreciated eggplant until I tried a Persian recipe. Over saffron rice it's amazing.

    Hope you're having a great summer season. :)

    Hi Dixie,
    Did you know that 'eggplant' is called 'aubergine' in Britain.
    Man, do I come up with some exciting facts lol

    I knew the word 'aubergine' long before I associated it with the lovely, delicious eggplant! It has always been one of my favorite colors [colours :)] on my palettte!
