Thankful Thursday #5

I am thankful for parsley.  Some years ago, I decided to buy fresh parsley for a recipe instead of using the tasteless dried variety in my spice rack, and discovered to my delight that it has flavor — a nice flavor!  So, when my dear wife proposed starting a container garden this summer, I insisted on including parsley.  It has grown heartily, surviving caterpillars and some kind of fungus to enrich several of our meals this season.  Since it’s in a container, I plan to bring it indoors for the winter and hope I can keep it growing.  But I’ll plant it again in the spring if not.
