Thursday Challenge—"everyday things"

I love my wooden spoons, which are
both utilitarian and beautiful;
the broken one is my favorite, because
it belonged to my grandmother.
This was her Hoosier cabinet, btw, and it
still has its original zinc countertop.

The Weekend in Black and White

I couldn't resist the chives at the greenmarket—
so pretty with their blossoms still attached.
Now I just have to figure out what to do with all
those chives.  Omelette, anyone?
