Vegetables

A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising, and then after all, it grows little by little, nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.

~ Gertrude Stein

When I was a kid, I had a play kitchen. There was a stove my dad made for me, and mom painted it so it looked like a stove. And my grandmother owned a furniture store. When it closed, we got the pretend food they put in the refrigerators they were trying to sell.

I remember I had a plaster of paris cluster of celery. 

I can't imagine that sold a lot of refrigerators.

Maybe that's why Grandma sold the furniture store.
