kyoho grape leaves and joy pockets

kyoho grape leaves

kyoho grapes ripening on the vine

mom in the garden hunting for tomatoes and chilies

my husband making me laugh with his exaggerated accents

white, delicate blossoms blowing across my path

sitting under the canopy of grape leaves feeling like a creature of nature
