The Beauty of Hope
A well-tended garden is a beautiful thing, even a vegetable garden. I am an undeniably bad gardener. I’m also an undeniably hopeful gardener. Every year, I enter the battle (and yes, gardening is war) with great hopes of victory and harvest. There’s something about seeds and plants in rich garden soil that inspires hope in me […]

Never give up! Never surrender!
