Daring to Survive

Tomatoes on thickened vines tucked, drooping, toward moist earth, hesitating to ripen red their sweet tomato taste; shy flowers bloom bravely daring frosty nights.

Fall's damp cool, permits short broad strokes of late sun. Plants reply to weathered change, slowing growth to survive long after golden sun has lowered.

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

~  Hellen Keller
