Nature's Bounty

I am having ratatouille for lunch today. Everything in it, with the exception of the garlic and the eggplant (bought at the local farmers' market) was grown in my garden. Every time I think about it, I marvel at the fact that these little seeds, the dirt in our backyard and some water every now and then, has yielded something that is this tasty and fulfilling. I feel very connected to the earth when I eat from the garden. That whole circle of life thing is pretty groovy.
