Anethum Graveolens

Proverbs 6:8
she prepares her bread in the summer,
and gathers her food in harvest
she prepares her bread in the summer,
and gathers her food in harvest
dill grows in the kitchen gardens
the scent of it rises when my skirts brush against it
garden dirt is dry and warm beneath my bare feet
I gather the harvest in the old-fashioned basket
that Susan left when she was last here
and leave it on the wooden table in the hall
that Susan left when she was last here
and leave it on the wooden table in the hall
the yellow blossoms stand in a jar that once held capers
air is heavy
but it won't rain until later this evening, if at all
tomorrow afternoon I will make the refrigerator pickles that Joe likes
in large green mason jars
Such a beautiful shot!
