Impermanent Joy #1

Thank you to all who have responded to my Joyful Request -whether by email, comment, or through filling out my contact form. I'm TRYING not to respond to responses received. They are yours - not for me to like or dislike or relate to or nuthin'. They are your life, your art. On the solstice, I will compile them into one blog post and we will have a joyful quilt.

Before the frosts had stopped, I planted pea seeds, hoping that this year, the weather gods would smile upon me and I would have more peas than we could eat. I planted all sugar snap peas - none of that shelling and throwing away pods for me.

There are now Peas on Earth!

And amongst all of the eatin' peas, somehow a sweet pea plant has grown! This is not the eatin' kind. It's just for sweet beauty.

This time of year, I love to find wild sweet peas along the hiking trails. Now I have my very own, right here.

And I can't stop hearing the gravelly sound of Popeye's voice exclaiming "Swee' Pea!"
