Artichoke Flowers Four Dollars Each
I love artichokes, steamed with lemon peels, or boiled with rosemary, or simmered slowly in garlic.
This farmer was digging up the spent flowers, as the heat spell sent the vegetable into flower then seed mode, no longer edible but pretty enough to sell at the farmer's market. I love that he didn't give up on making profit from his mistake and presenting a wild looking thistle on a contrasting color tablecloth with his cute marketing sign. Success comes when you keep trying. See the opportunity and create something. When you fail you say to yourself, what did I learn from that moment? and plan again, shake off the dust from the trucks speeding in the fast lane and get back on your own road. This time is hard being apart from friends and those we love. Call them, write to them and
for heaven's sake stay off the yelling opinions on social media.
Much love
I hope my echinaecia, dalias, zinnias in kerr jars make you smile and give you courage. You know the simple coneflower does fight virus and infections.
