“Enough! Go! Read!” Tanka 348

dishes and dinner

keep calling – book says to me

don’t answer that call

 

i hung the wash-n-dry tees

set wild garlic and onions

“Just The Two”

Just two* wild onions

survived the Summer planting:

time to do research?

 

*(the wild onions were found when I transferred my bunching onions to more delicious soil in container pots – the better to move them about in sun-catcher fashion.  I thought there but two of the little-bulbed beauties with a tender soft taste, but two more – for a total of four (of the original six) resurfaced as I set about the last half of the transfer task – after a minute that seemed an hour sitting, sipping and reading as the criminals escaped their prison school into the waiting warden-arms of demon drivers who one day may approach the madness of schoolbus drivers.)

“Oh, You Red Beauties Burst Forth!”

Scarlet Onion seeds

sent to sleep in prepared beds:

Spring salads rejoice!

“Hurray For Freezer Cleaning Chore!”

Christos y Moros

I found the saltmeat!

“Soon: Summer Chores”

time to plant okra,

wild garlic and wild onions

and spread the compost.
