Jenny, from "Off on my tangent" is asking for my tears, or in truth "our most treasured heartfelt moments...

from when we were sixteen (16) yes, you read that correctly, sixteen years old.......in just 16 words, and we can add other photos as well.
 
Mine begins....


"When I was sixteen, of course I knew everything, and said I do, on December eighteenth."

As you can see by this photo of my then husband, we had issues early.....

Luckily, I only ripped it once, so the photo was spared......

Thematic Photographic # 163 Eat your Veggies

This is A Thematic Photographic Post! 

Hooray for ........... being healthy, in our theme this week as Carmi has announced "Eat your Veggies!".....

If you want to post your own yummy veggies go here

This is an exciting theme with all the confusion about is it a 'fruit' or a 'vegetable' depending on the usage!  It seems the truth is the seeds, or the ovaries in the base of the flower!


But even then, there are discrepancies, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may fall under the veggie list because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking.  

So I begin with something that has become a veggie but began as a fruit.

Any guesses?

What once was a fruit (cucumber), soon became pickled and now mixed with onions, and peppers it has become a vegetable as well!

Oh for the love of sweet delicious home-made pickles...
...Did you know that Cleopatra attributed some of her fascinating beauty to eating pickles?

"Hunger is the best pickles,"  Benjamin Franklin

No confusion here......"veggies!" .....as it is today still growing in the field by the pole barn.....

This batch of rhubarb just grows fancy free and never gets picked...

and while there are some people still gathering what vegetables they can from their gardens..... just today I picked these....

 
and I had a helper...... My special photo of the day........after the picking comes the licking.... or so Monster seems to think!

Monster is worried he may not get any, but does he really want some?
