Fresh Veggies

I gathered veggies from my garden—once again, a winner! I licked my lips just thinking how delish they’d be for dinner. At last I got them on to cook and settled down to read my book. When choking caused me to awake, I knew I had to have a look. Then as the smoky room I crossed, “Alas!” I cried. “Love’s labor lost." June 15, 2018

I REALLY enjoyed this one and I sure know the feeling. With me, it happens when I boil eggs. I forget they are boiling until I hear a big explosion as they burst open and onto the ceiling!!
