During that hand-off between autumn and winter, it is often a damp cold. This seems the coldest of colds as it penetrates into your own body-water. A wet cold day is perfect for a mug of hot tea or even better homemade soup. The lees of the garden make great soup. We use chicken grown by a local farmer. Enjoy this delicious little poem.
Magic Brew
That lovely smell
of leafy rot
is time for
chicken in the pot.
Boil and bubble
Shakespeare’s trouble.
Parsley, carrots, onion and kale
will warm you through an autumn gale
A magic brew
to stir and sup.
A magic brew
to keep immunity up.
