When You are a Badass Gardener

When you are a badass gardener, you put on your galoshes in the near dark of evening, tramp out to the east garden, and dig up the best of your late leeks.  Then you squelch through the yard, put away the shovel, and shake those leeks to get as much dirt off as you can before you bring your earthy self back inside.  And you wave your leeks around casting leek spells in the blue black sky.  Showering loamy leek soil in your hair and into the collar of your coat. This is why my jackets always smell like wind and dust and this is why the fish was delicious.
