Heart of the Artichoke

You are the sweet succulent heart of the artichoke... dipped in creamy butter of delicious desire... You are Rhubarb in early Spring dipped in sugary kisses of love...

As passions emerge and hungers delight... 

the possibilities soar from bloom to bloom 

The blossoms of Spring have become 

the hope of summer's reward. 

Cranberry and Blueberry golden wheat bread 

become the mainstay of a lover's retreat... 

served with creamy Brie as chords of Mozart 

flood the banks of rippling streams of 

promises made under the tender boughs 

of summer sighs and bluest of skies.

'Heart of the Artichoke'
Patricia Wedel,
I loved reading this. Softness and light, summer and music with the thread of love holding it all together. So beautiful. I am left yearning for winter to get moving and let Spring come on in. Winter is not finished of course but I love all the seasons.
Thanks for your writing.
Blessings,
Kathy

Pat,
My parents have grown artichokes. They have learned and do all the right things to create perfect conditions for good food. Me, well my soil is quite acidic and trees shade a little too much but still every year I am out there working and trying. It's sometimes a challenge. You have inspired me! thanks for that.
Bless you.
Kathy
