If you ever come to the states, swing by our house and have you some cornbread.<br />@ Charles -- I recommend you move to where you can have you a turnip green patch :)<br />@ Grandpappy, you have no idea !<br />@ Karen, we do feel blessed.<br />Again, thanks all.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-87375753367310365742011-09-20T18:19:21.201-05:002011-09-20T18:19:21.201-05:00Lovely.

Since I don't have a place to plant them, maybe I won't have to wait so long. Along with cool nights and the smell of rain, I'm thinking of that welcoming aroma of greens cooking on the kitchen stove with corm bread in the oven!Charles Kinnairdhttp://notdarkyet-commentary.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-71737668641953856952011-09-20T11:54:49.712-05:002011-09-20T11:54:49.712-05:00One day I will eat cornbread :-)One day I will eat cornbread :-)Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-12686989645401331152011-09-20T03:41:41.811-05:002011-09-20T03:41:41.811-05:00Thank you for the "Stop Sign"!

Seeing the first few leaves fall from the peach tree during a storm last week has had me in a real funk. Winter is no friend of mine. I'm the least bit enthused about it's arrival this year. Those little moments such as yours shared here... a great help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-88240095540769304662011-09-20T03:24:19.941-05:002011-09-20T03:24:19.941-05:00Oops!

I have eaten cornbread (many years ago) and loved it. Your description of smelling the approaching rain and the reference to the sound it makes on the tin rook...wonderful! And took me back to my childhood in Zimbabwe (then S. Rhodesia) when I could smell the approaching rain. I almost felt I was right there. Kudzu? Another thing with which I am unfamiliar, but what a plant! I had to laugh at that old saying you quoted, too. Sounds like the inspration for Jack's beanstalk. Perhaps it was actually kudzu!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-86310239599070209342011-09-19T23:28:52.168-05:002011-09-19T23:28:52.168-05:00Autumn is when the soups and stews are on the stov...Autumn is when the soups and stews are on the stove and warm bread in the oven.
