The zen beauty of sugar snaps

One of my favorite things to grow in the garden are sugar snap peas. As they grow, they put out these curly, grabby tendrils. They then grab onto whatever they can that's nearby, using it for support, and creating these beautiful swirls with their vines. It's one of nature's perfect art forms.

Every morning, I come out and admire my sugar snap plants. I love how the sugar snaps emerge from soft white flowers. I love seeing the delicate vines and leaves swaying in the breeze. I love the sensual curl of the tendrils, as they hug their support system. And most of all, I love the taste of sugar snaps! You can eat the whole pod (and you should!), beans and all.

I hope you find something today that brings you joy also. 

Much love my friends.
