My salute to the satsuma.

The glorious satsuma.
I love it here, I love it there, I really love it everywhere.



I like them seen way down below.


I like one resting in a bowl.


Or with some pals in a Nijiya Market still life.
They are so sweet,
they are so nice.


Sometimes safely tucked inside a nook.

 
Or resting quietly, with a book.

The peel drops from the flesh,
and there's never a seed.

Eat one today and happy you'll be.

  6. I love them too. Right now I have clementines all over the place -- random spots in the kitchen, in my purse, on my desk. They're always there when you need one.

  8. Great pictures! And I'm trying to think of which Dr. Suess book this reminds me so much of.....Which is it?!

  9. Char, Precisely my intention! I was feeling silly. Thanks for playing along.

    Christina, Thank you. I love the bowls too. I'm always happy to sell one, but also a little sad to see it go.

    Tracy, Yes, I too love the fruit with stems and leaves. Just one of the many reasons I love gardening. I miss it so. I'm glad to know I was able to leave you with a smile. Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy your clementines!

    Lisa, Clementines will work! I hope yours was tasty. I might opt for them on my next citrus shopping spree.

    Alexandria, Thank you! As I mentioned to Char, I was feeling a little silly that day.

    Jessica, Wise! Surrounding yourself with all of that vitamin C is not only healthy, it's pretty, and therefore good for the soul. Enjoy those clementines!

    Little Lotus, Thank you for your note. I suppose it's only looking for you. Enjoy something else that is sweet and delicious, okay?

    Struggler, Thank you. I like the colors too. It's nice to see bright orange and green leaves so close to winter.

    Little Byrd, Thank you. Green Eggs & Ham (one of my all-time favorites).

  10. Hellowwwww, there, Denise... Thank you for the sweet comment on my little blog. You are a ceramic artist... that is wonderful, do you have a studio space or do you work from home. You pieces are lovely and rustic. Mmm. I like them, especially with little satsumas napping inside. :)

  12. Jesse Lu, Hellowwwww... Thank you for your note. I have been making my pottery at Lorna's studio (Sausalito Pottery) in Sausalito. I'm taking a short break, but look forward to having my hands back on the clay soon.

    MB, Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed making both :)

  14. This made me smile. I'm allergic too but who says I can't enjoy the colour? Or the scent? Or even the liqueur we'll make from the peel? Thanks for a well-needed burst of colour!

  17. Heart Charlie, Thank you.

    Shari, I'm so jealous. I am currently out of satsumas. What a sad day.

    Anja, Oh no...another allergy. Good ideas. Enjoy the view and the sweet sweet smell.

    Hi Megan, Truth be told, I often play with the colors and layout on my blog, so it could very well look new to you. I haven't changed anything on www.deniseparsons.com lately. I had some nice pottery and scarf sales, but then I scooted off for the holidays and had to put things on hold. I'm ready to get back to work now.

    Jill, Excellent--your being happy makes me happy.

  19. Elie, Thank you for your note. I will be taking a break from pottery making for a while, but there are still a few pieces in my Etsy shop, if you'd like to see more. I hope you are enjoying a nice warm Miami day. It's a bit dreary here in San Francisco today... I'm hoping for a little sun tomorrow.
