Today I planted onions.
I tell you this because it proves I can be optimistic.
One large red onion sprouted magnificent green fingers on
my kitchen window sill.
It was good, green company.
Today one onion has become three. Miracle, right?
Three from one, already a bonus. 
Tucked into the warm earth side by side (not too close!)
I left the sagging, spent tomato plant nearby.
There may still be whispered wisdom about living in our
hard adobe earth.
