The Banana Tree

When I brought it home, there was laughter and rolled eyes. She always knew I was a sucker for kitchen gadgets, but really- a stand with a hook on it to hold bananas? She thought I was bananas. I don't even eat bananas.

But the Banana Tree proved useful, and it gained a place of prominence, right between the napkins and knives.

Since she's been away, the banana tree has stood empty.

I finally broke down and bought a couple.

The kitchen just didn't seem right without them.
