I have to say im not sure what chokecherries are.
ReplyDeletenot sure if we have them in Australia. not sure I have things that are for different seasons But I do love the warmer days. (we had one today) I was getting tired of all the rain.
Jenny,
ReplyDeleteIt was a hundred degrees here in Arizona yesterday. Same the day before. I'm not sure what symbols my life unless you want to talk about books.
I didn't notice this until reading your post, Janet, but I use different coffee cups depending on what I'm going through. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have two with faces on them. A grumpy face and one with a surprised face. The other with just a smile and it makes me happy to look at it. But some days and in some seasons I can't drink from the happy face cup because it makes me want to fling it. LOL!
I have a cup that has a Bible scripture on it that has gotten me through hard times. I use that in difficult seasons where the only way I can go forward is by the power of God and his written promises.
Great post. Thought provoking. I'm very interested in learning more about chokeberries.
Hugs
Cheryl
Ausjenny and Cheryl -- Chokecherries are a small, bitter berry that grow wild in eastern Montana (where not much else in the way of fruit can grow). They're tough, but make delicious jellies and syrups (given enough sugar). I used them in the book to show my character viewed herself as a survivor in difficult times.
ReplyDeleteCheryl -- I loved the cups! Perfect example of symbols. When I write a character, I try to put visual cues of the person's life on the page (as I'm sure you do). Your cups would definitely make it into the book.
