Be like squash.


To everything there is a season...and a time to every purpose under heaven. The squash plants in my garden know their purpose....producing lots and lots and lots of fruit! They have taken the term "garden party" to a whole new level....they are having a party all day & night....and reproducing at an alarming rate! I'm not sure whether I'm in squash heaven or hell. Bubba Gump is to shrimp what The Waddell Garden is to squash.....Sauteed Squash, Stir Fried Squash, Squash Soup, Squash with Pesto, Squash Casserole, Squash Soufle, Stuffed Squash, Steamed Squash, Squash Delight, Squash Patties, Marinated Squash.....whew.....and that's just the last 2 weeks! At the rate they're going I think there might be some potential in there for world peace or at least solving the global warming crisis.




How would the world look if everyone was that clear about their purpose....can you imagine....everybody just getting their groove on to whatever their groove is supposed to be....not paying attention to what the tomatos or cucumbers or scallions are doing....not trying to be an eggplant or a rhutabaga....just fulfilling their squashy purpose in the finite amount of time they have. What a delicious and interesting thought....Ah! To be or not be like squash.....now, that is a question!
