in a recycled carry out container grows pea sprouts that are quite tasty with tomatoes and hummus. In the gold goblet, upland cress is hopefully germinating. Their sprouts from a previous harvest were quite fine on smoked salmon. And I think in the clay pots I planted some combination of sunflowers and a spicy mesclun mix.

I do not think it was forgotten after the Yankee Swap ended and all the dinner guests had departed. I’m pretty sure she left the rose in the glass on purpose to sit upon the kitchen table. Since it took up so little room I left it there to see what time would reveal. And as is sometimes the case, time revealed great beauty.
