Winter Warmup

Winter Warmup

Cold
salad.
Cold! Salad?
Warming up, though
I thought, beforehand,
about warming soup. Soup?
Who needs to sip, now? I don’t!
My salad, topped with yesterday’s
tomatoes, dressed with ranch and fig, balm
of nutrition. I’ve warmed up to salad.

Anne-Lise Andresen February 20, 2025 at 7:07 AM - I just ate a handful of tomatoes ... and want to make a salad :) - No soup today - Best wishes in the contest, Kim ... I enjoy reading your suggestion with a smile :) - hugs Kim Rodrigues February 20, 2025 at 12:53 PM I love tomatoes! I have found I love salad better when I chop it first. Had a few flurries today and last night had to put my Winter blanket back on the bed…so cold.

Happy Thursday xxoo Kim Rodrigues February 20, 2025 at 6:19 AM Thanks, Mike! That would have made a great title too. Your salad sounds delicious. I might have to try that one!
