Fun! The children would be thrilled to see where chocolate comes from. :)

What confusion would it cause to tell her that chocolate comes from seeds! We have a Red Cacao tree growing in our yard now. If in when we get a pod maybe we can send you some chocolate seeds! It’s not all that hard to get something useful out of them, dried, roasted, crushed and mixed with milk & sugar you get a decent hot chocolate drink. If you want something like a chocolate bar you’d get in the snack aisle, that’s a fair bit more work.

Your verses touch my heart with truth.
The rhythm reminds me of Jo’s poem about the boxes of treasures in the attic after Beth dies. Thank you for a glimpse of your heart. It is lovely.

Thanks for posting your poetry. The seasons are a reflection of life, are they not…

I always love a good haiku.

We’ve been getting around 1.5-2 inches of rain a day the past few days. Luckily for us it drains quite well. The rain gutters are routed down a pipe away from the house, and sometimes that looks like a fire hose. Ah monsoon season in Hawaii! It’s even cold (for us) in the low 60s at night and barely reaching 70 some of the days. It’s raining so hard now I can’t see downtown (my office window overlooks, yes I’m goofing off at work, it’s ok, it’s part of my lunch hours). I can only assume that it’s been wiped out by a Tsunami, and that the warning sirens got shorted out by the rain.

We are so bad at menu planning. We end up eating easy junk far to often. Especially here where we can grow things year round with relative ease. We had Pesto Lasagna this weekend, we have a basil bush. An entire summer in MD didn’t give us the basil we get off this thing in a month here. Now I’m hungry for pesto salmon cakes. mmm
