My Life in a Snap

I take a lot of pics around the house, and trying to find one that would "sum up" my life was pretty difficult. Do I put one of just me and my partner together? Do I find one of my daughter and grandsons, etc., etc. Then I found this one and that was it. This is my partner, G., in the white shirt, and our down the street neighbor, Anita, who recently turned 81. She is an amazing woman, who was raised an atheist Jew in a Catholic neighborhood on Long Beach, NY. She is wise beyond imagining, but until 2 summers ago (when this picture was taken), she did not know where green beans came from. I mean, obviously she knew they didn't just come frozen or out of a can, but had never seen them actually GROWING. So, we, having a garding that was quitle literally OVERFLOWING with green beans, took it upon ourselves to show her! She was thrilled, and as a vegetarian for well onto 40 years, happy to take home some of the bounty.

So, that's my life these days: my love, my community, and my garden to bring forth beauty and nourishment, both physical and spiritual, for anyone who needs it.

Green beans, anyone??
