Endive in June

    Julia tires so easily of anyone or anything that is not somehow connected with her. That is most likely the reason she came to the bad end she did. But that is not important today. She will have to wait.  For Today I have my own problems. Today I have to deal with curly endive Have you ever noticed how in times of crisis the smallest event can set off a torrent of emotions. That happened to me today. It started out innocently enough. I went grocery shopping. I wandered through the produce section of the supermarket. My whole being was shaken by curly endive.   

                                                       CURLY ENDIVE

                                                        One might think

                                                   One would be wrong

                         How many years now have I looked but not found curly endive in June

                               Two years I grew my own which barely was ready by June

                          Other years I went from grocer to grocer in towns near and far

                                                    I always managed

                                                    I had to manage

                             My husband wanted curly endive for his June birthday dinner

                                                     It’s June again

                        This week without looking I found curly endive in three grocers

                                         I easily found curly endive in June

                                                  He died in April
