Welcome To The July 2020 Issue Of Story Quilt!

 

Suddenly it's summer.

A major nursery just outside of town is busy. It's interesting to watch the customers.

A couple of scrawny men walk off to their car carrying only one small pot of something. A tomato plant perhaps? A shrub carried sideways by the stem like holding a bagged turkey by the neck?

Women slightly overweight all smiles push a double shelved cart to cash flowing over with trays and pots of blooming flowers; a man will pay.

I search the shelves for pea seeds. All gone already.
