I don’t know what possessed me to try poetry but here goes (fingers crossed)…
‘Ode To A Blueberry Scone’
~~~~
Sitting alone in my freezer…
The last of the scones I brought home…
Born in the kitchen of Espresso Love...
It waits and waits all alone.
~~
Once it was part of six…
Or maybe it was seven…
The fact of the matter is…
These blueberry scones are a taste of heaven.
~~
For ten months I’ve selfishly horded them…
Savoring them one at a time…
Feebly offering to share them…
Hoping the person would decline.
~~
There’s something special about them…
Besides the way that they look and they taste…
They’re a connection to the Vineyard…
And not a crumb ever goes to waste.
~~
And so lonely scone…
Your turn will come soon…
After all…
For a new supply I must make room.
~~

Joan, I am going up to the Vineyard Tuesday and I am bringing you back some scones! So enjoy your birthday scone without reservation.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Joan. I, for one, am very grateful you were born.

I am grateful you were born, too! (And not only because that would mean I wouldn’t be here!)

Joan,
I love your poem! I do completely understand–I also brought home treasures from Espresso Love which hit the freezer immediately upon arriving back in California. I think it was a Pecan Scone which had a hint of orange that I loved best!
Just a little warmup in the oven and a fresh cup of coffee for a beautiful Vineyard treat….
I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Judy
