5er 3D: Bhavana’s tummy full of gratitude (Redwood City, CA)

Thank you to my jolly friend Bhavana for texting me photos of fruit & veggie gifts from her friend’s garden in Livermore, CA.  I have met Bhavana at a dragonboat party about 6 years ago in Boston, where I used to paddle with some local teams.  When I moved to the Bay Area, she moved as well, so we have continued our friendship and adventures.  Bhavana is an educator and a spiritual coach in Redwood City, CA.  She also wants to share the story behind these photos.  Check it out!

 

Bhavana’s garden gifts

A visit to a friend’s house with a luxurious backyard with lush garden and flowering fruit trees!  We feasted on fresh veggies cooked on the grill, then relaxed in the hot tub under the stars.  I awoke in the morning to the abundant sun and rose bushes!  Then she sent me home with a bag full of fresh picked tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, methi (Indian greens), apples, and pomegranates!  I got more than 5 a day!  Ah, nature’s bounty, I have a tummy full of gratitude!

Wow!  Sounds like a beautiful weekend!  Thanks again for your story!  Eat more than 5 a day, & you’ll become as lyrical & poetic as Bhavana!
