Tuesday, 29 July 2008 - A homegrown snack

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for a homegrown snack.

My small edible garden can't provide all the food I need to survive. So, I'll settle for a snack.

Today, we enjoyed:

• 6 blackberries
• 1 tomato ("Fantastic")
  
• 1 Japanese eggplant, about 4" long
• 1 alpine strawberry
  

I savor each tiny delicious bite. The revitalizing "life force" stored in just-picked fruits and veggies. infuses my hot and tired body, mind and soul with energy - their gift to me.

For this blessing, I am thankful.

Amen.
