Mud and Thanks

Saturday 23rd October


Day 185



A row of bulging, mud splattered carrier bags lounging on the kitchen floor. Wet green leaves spilling out of their tops.


A dripping, mud caked husband standing at the sink scrubbing horseradish roots, jerusalem artichokes and hairy carrots.


A blustery sun and rain washed day at the allotment.


I wish I was more grateful for this glistening harvest, straight out of the earth. Straight into my kitchen. Tomorrow I will remember to give thanks. Now I need to start mopping up.
