#Cassava is a root vegetable. It is the underground part of the cassava shrub, which has the Latin name Manihot esculenta. Cassava was a staple of the First Peoples of the island of Trinidad. READ MORE HERE

A beautiful poem Gillena. I love that it is about the rooted plant cassava and the history it holds.

No kissing outside the home here either. Well, there are very irresponsible people who refuse to mask, but... the rest stay and keep others safe. Our restrictions for outdoors have been relaxed, but I suspect they'll be back soon--the Delta variant of COVID keeps on being spread, mostly by the unvaccinated.
ReplyDeleteThe last haiku is making me crave cassava bread. So I shall have some with my afternoon coffee.
Happy Sunday, Gillena.
Stay Safe. Thanks for dropping by Magaly

I think not wearing a mask when told is disobeying the Golden Rule. I purposely coughed on a woman once at the grocery story who, unmasked, tried to dart down in front of me to grab a bag of carrots. She left in a hurry without her carrots.
ReplyDeleteI would treat kissing as eating or drinking, remove mask, kiss, and put it back on.

ReplyDeleteThose little cars with no back seat or a rumble seat are a pain if you have three or more.
