TUESDAY TEXTURE SHOT

Can you guess what this is? Check out the hills and valleys, the striations, the little pricklies in the smooth dark green. I don't think I would know either. Anyway, it's the stem to one of the blue hubbard squash in my garden. I love squash stems for their texture. So woody, but those smooth striations of green give it so much character. What textures do you love?

    I would never have guessed that that was a squash! Very cool! You are lucky that you were able to grow them. I had an infestation of stink bugs which ate almost all the squash plants I planted. I even went out with a vacuum cleaner to get rid of them, but there were just too many.

    I love texture, too, which is one reason why I like old textiles so much. I love it when the fabric has become worn and soft.
