I’ve never been very good at growing carrots.  I always seem to plant the wrong varieties in the wrong soil at the wrong time.  This year, however, the carrots have done surprisingly (given my track record) well.

Yesterday evening, I was watering the garden, and the delicate, feathery foliage of the carrot patch caught the light and sparkled in the strange glow of the eclipse.

I snapped this photo, and then pulled up and ate the carrot.
