Trucked

Fruits and vegetables
trucked from irrigated farms—
who will buy today?

When you munch mangoes,
mind your manners, my munchkins—
no mindless dribbling!

Let your dreams bear fruit—
mangoes, bananas, apples
papayas and plums!

Only thing better than a good market is a garden

One of our most joyful thanks is fresh veggies from our son’s garden. Loved this post.

I was just thinking about the bag of cherries I ate all to myself whilst wondering around my home market town, had real cherry lips when I got home!

Those yummy mangoes cannot be eaten without a dribble 😀 We have a large variety growing here and those juicy fruits are best eaten straight from the trees!! Lip smacking and there you go another bad manner 😦
