Gleanings
- One of the goals I set for my epic 2020 to-do list? Make more preserves and pickles than last year!
- I think if we really go deep and allow ourselves to answer those questions, the world would be a better place.
- All I know is that I feel beleaguered – by these strange and difficult times, and by people who are making it worse.
- Despite outside influences, my attitude toward dandelions sashayed as if in a dance.
- There is the constant ongoing slightly absurd persistent splendid fact that you are required to make something beautiful.
- She’s good– very good, even! It’s just that she’s always good in exactly the same way, sometimes even in the exact same words.
- You’re walking and your eye yanks at your brain and says, Hey look, look again, look closer.
- Swimming, the swallows light on the surface of the lake, I want to tell that young woman to linger in the garden, linger among the vines and leaves.

I love your weekly gleanings and am always so pleased to find myself on the list! And this week! Wow, the cocktail cherries look so beautiful. It makes me want to can a batch of them and maybe I will although cocktails for me are a form of mother’s ruin. (Wine is my own personal cocktail.) But I bet the cherries would be delicious over ice-cream too. Thanks so much for hunting and gathering for all of us.
I adore that photo Kerry. Thank you again for these delightful gleanings and for including me among these lovely thoughts. I see Theresa has been here and left a delightful message — I just came from her blog after reading each of the gleanings — wow, so glad you left that one for the end. It sure had an impact on me!
