A Bountiful Harvest

 As I have mentioned on this blog before, I have a thumb. This is to say it's not green, but it's not a death touch to plants. We have a small garden plot and we're pumping out patty pan squash like nobody's business. We've got tomatoes making themselves known, and an occasional zucchini that comes from a big plant with little to show for it. We've got kale that's mostly serving as food for bugs, and peppers that are well shaded by the zucchini and squash plants.

patty pan: one word, or two?

One of the joys that I'm finding with my garden versus purchasing from a store is that my veggies look way cooler. My squashes have striation, as do the zucchini. My tomatoes are all different varieties that each look cool and different in their own ways. 

When I buy a zucchini it's green. And that's it. But the one's we grow are exciting and different. When I eat them I feel like a high roller, living with that gooooooood veggie.

Just look at these dumb, boring zucchini.

I don't have anything theological about this post. It's really just about how I like when my vegetables look cool.

But this little thing brightens my day. It's a little bit of character that is out of the ordinary that makes me just a little happier than I would otherwise feel.

I hope that today when you're going about your business that you find something that's a little out of the ordinary. 

I hope you can take the time to notice something that makes you a little bit happier. 

I hope you find some small joy in something insignificant and you smile a little bit inside.

Peace,

Jeff
