		<title>Fave Cupcake Recipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sold several dozens of these last christmas. The buyers must have liked them. I see my daughter gobble them up and ask for more. More importantly, I like them, too. That&#8217;s why I keep making them. My children were recently invited to a birthday party and I felt like sending some cupcakes to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I want a mango tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Creepy-looking things, huh? Like some alien spawn breaking out of its shell, ready to whip out its spiny tentacles and catch anything that resembles lunch.  These science fiction lookers are actually  mango seeds that have recently germinated. We had a box of mangos a few weeks back. I saved most of the seeds because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Poetry Month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Mango Seedling MAY 22, 1969 Chinua Achebe Through glass window pane Up a modern office block I saw, two floors below, on wide-jutting Concrete canopy a mango seedling newly sprouted Purple, two-leafed, standing on its burst Black yolk. It waved brightly to sun and wind Between rains—daily regaling itself On seed-yams, prodigally. For how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ines of My Soul by Isabel Allende</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;   LIKE It&#8217;s new to me.  Didn&#8217;t know there ever was a female conquistador. Now I know a little bit more about Peruvian and Chilean history. Thanks to this historical fiction written by Isabel Allende. I admired the strength of that woman who bore all the inconveniences that come with every grand adventure through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garden Harvest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First time I planted tomatoes. I have four of them. These pretty yellow things will later become cherry tomatoes. My plants have lots flowers but they take forever to turn into fruits. I like to check on them everyday. Like Scrooge in his counting house counting out his money, I count the green fruits that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cookie Monster Cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These cookie monster cupcakes were made in honor of my twin nephews who live a continent away, out there in the Philippines. I made them last February to celebrate their second birthday. &#8220;Here&#8217;s to you, Tyler and Dean. May you grow up strong, good, and healthy. May we see each other soon&#8221;, I whispered this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bulb Garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 2 ft X 2 ft plot right outside my house is abloom. There are more flowers this year because, without regard for gardening instructions, I crammed the teeny tiny space with all the bulbs it can possibly hold. My gardening philosophy has always been and, sadly, always will be &#8220;survival of the fittest&#8221;. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cold Mornings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Such a struggle to shake myself awake this morning. It took me a good long twenty minutes to convince my legs to kick off my warm blankets. As I dragged myself out of the house to bring the kids to school, I happened to look towards the north. This was the sight that greeted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Scare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Here I go again, browsing through my summer photos in the middle of winter. This one above is particularly memorable.  It shows my son and my nephew enjoying the waves. This was taken last August, when my sister and her kids came over for a visit. It was an overcast Sunday. I brought some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer&#8217;s Ending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer&#8217;s ending. My sunflowers are no longer  glorious and beautiful.  Winged creatures have ravished them and divested them of all their seeds. We are grateful for the cheer that you have brought us. If they could talk, the birds and the bees would thank you for the nourishment you&#8217;ve provided them. We&#8217;ll see you next [...]]]></description>
