Our backyard went from being a backyar to being a Community Garden!

Hi everyone! well- it has been quite the week already! I am so bummed b/c i am longing to share with you our pictures of the community garden that over 20 people helped to create in our backyard this past Sunday but I can't get the pictures to download! :( STAY TUNED... FOr now, here is a new poem i wrote in reflection of our time:

Memory of the Trees

The morning dew
reflects the memory
of the night sky

stars brightly glittering


Each blade of grass
a family member
in the world of things


blows ever so gently


Birds pluck the petals
that fall to the grass
a new days watering.

Sing us your song...
the sweet one that
arouses our toes to tap

and our pious laws
to clap
and embrace the one

we turn our backs on.
