My Herb Kit: A Poem

by

Oh goodness, oh my! A package for me! From a dear thoughtful cousin, oh what could it be?

IMG_3586

A housewarming gift! Something special, I know. Oh where are the scissors, let’s not open this slow!

IMG_3593

Such a festive bag, and one special note too! Shall we see what’s inside? Oh yes, let’s do!

IMG_3589

Tiddo, my Tiddo! Is it something real good? Something you might like to nibble, even if I won’t like that you should?

IMG_3590

Oh heavens! Oh my! It’s just what I need! Some fresh bright herbs, how delightful indeed!

IMG_3591

There’s basil and chives, parsley and cilantro too. I’ll always have fresh greens on hand to use!

Thank you to my cousin, you really are so kind! Stay tuned as I plant, much green in my kitchen we will soon find!

The Mad Hatter Of Toasties: A Poem

by

I am the Mad Hatter of toasties, smothering my bread in everything that’s good…

img_2936

Even covering them in melty cheese and eggs, though my conscience isn’t sure I should…

img_2718

Especially best are those with eggs in a hole, how I swoon with each bite and crunch…

img_2894

Mad Hatter I am, getting crazy with my toast…I make one wild bunch!

img_2787

No, no, there’s nothing better, than such hot and toasty delights…

img_2938

Made right quick for any meal, they’re indubitably the best on chilly autumn nights!

img_2949

Of course there is salad; greens so fresh, bright and pure…

img_2910

And roasted squash of every kind, from which I don’t demure!

img_2323

Always loving am I of a tender fish, potato and asparagus feast…

img_2190

And my ardor for shrimp, shallots and beans…well that won’t ever cease!

img_2369

Wondrous goddess you are, divine caprese! So very high on my list…

img_2911

But toasties, oh toasties, you’re this Mad Hatter’s pleasure, for always and ever. On this I must insist!

An Autumn Poem

by

Today I took an autumn walk…

IMG_1579

The flowers made me forget the clock!

IMG_1580

The pinks, they blushed for all to see…

IMG_1583

And the yellows, filled my heart with glee!

IMG_1709

The robins gobbled plump juniper berries…

IMG_1699

IMG_1724

There were fresh smelling pine cones and fallen cherries!

IMG_1712

IMG_1726

The roses were so moving, they danced…

IMG_1713

And the bright fall leaves, they shook and pranced!

IMG_1719

That adorable squirrel had rather fuzzy ears!

IMG_1734

And these vines and leaves, they’ve crept for years.

IMG_1644

That seagull dove right at my head…

IMG_1664

And his friends thought that was funny!

IMG_1591

The ducks were having a pleasant swim…

IMG_1590

This drake was with his honey!

IMG_1630

All was well until the gulls swooped in,

and said “Give us all your money!”

IMG_1603

The three foot fishies, they frighten me…

IMG_1617

Summer swims bring nibbled toes, you see!

IMG_1736

I could go on and on with this nature talk…

IMG_1732

Let’s just say it was a berry beautiful walk!
