365 - 43: Krista Blossoms

This spring when Krista came over and made dinner for convalescing me, she brought a butternut squash from the past autumn. When she cut it open, we saw its seeds had started to sprout inside. I planted some of them in pots on the porch, and this morning appeared the first of their blossoms.


Krista is blossoming too, and growing right out of her pot--having finished her PhD, she's off to take up her first professorial post in a couple weeks. I'll miss her. I'll have to mail her a squash...

[365, all together]
