Dew Drops


How can one little drop of water turn into an event? Only a gardener would know. I ran for the camera when I saw nature's little earring, a glistening jewel, hanging from my Zinfandel vine. I know I'm making too much fuss over a dew drop, but it's things like this that keep me interested in being in the garden, searching out small treasures left by nature in my little plot.

I've done some urban archeology in the garden over these past 14 years and have found that children once shared this space. Yesterday I found part of an old cap gun, and I still keep the marbles and small bottles they left behind.
