This morning I worked at the community garden for women who
were just released from prison and were trying to rebuild their lives. It was a
beautiful garden with everything from watermelon vines to Thai chilies (which
we tried… and regretted). It was a lot of fun weeding even though it was
scorching hot. Fun songs and good company definitely made the work enjoyable.
Along with the garden came a smaller prayer garden that was shaded. I
definitely found myself drifting over there more often than not to water the
plants or see if they needed help. It was such a pretty little place and felt
like a fairy garden. I really enjoyed working at the community garden today and
cant wait for the rest of the week!
