Hidden in the farmer's garden beneath a canopy of heart-shaped leaves lies a prickly green fruit. Ordinary, even plain, the Cucumber appears slightly out of place among the abundance of beautiful yellow blooms covering her meandering vine. She seemingly pales in comparison to the vivacious red tomatoes, shapely yellow squash, and slender garden beans. But after a long soak in a hot tub of spices, she becomes something extraordinary, even memorable. A Natural Beauty...the fresh Dill Pickle. Slightly spicy. Crispy crunchy. Perfectly pickled. The true prize of the farmer's garden.
Even the ordinary things in life can be transformed into extraordinary creations with a little time and attention.
