Bountiful Garden

My friend Ronn keeps a bountiful garden at Sewanee's Community Gardens. He grows so much good food -- greens, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, raspberries, blueberries, squash, potatoes, among other delights -- that he and his wife Jill sometimes share the harvest with me.











Ronn has a green thumb, for his garden and for his friends. Last night, he quietly told me that my photographs are really good. (The blueberries in a recent post are his.) He commended "my eye."

Like his vegetables, I felt myself grow a little under the thumb of his genuine kindness.
