Jersey? Yes, Jersey as in Jersey tomatoes. Perhaps if you're not from NJ, you don't know the significance. So, Jersey is the Garden State and could be on the merits alone of its beefsteak tomatoes. Slice into them, eat plainly and you grasp the finest summer offers.
Yes, this one above came with the "skin defect." Isn't she beautiful. Below, she's been "circular-ized" -- that fun app for photos.

ReplyDeleteAs paint dries, the gray seems so bold
I am used to pastels--they hide so beautifully
the transient angst, the fleeting mist out the window
