Garden
I think sharing pictures of our food and our gardens is a great way to connect with each other. These pictures were given to me by Bartosz Raczkiewicz (my newfound 2nd cousin.) The garden in the pictures is lovingly tended by his parents, Eugeniusz and Wiktoria. Do you have a garden? Please share pictures!
Looking at the pictures reminded me of a song. Garden Song by (John Denver) came out in 1979 when I was in college. I like this version since John Denver is introduced by Kermit the Frog. *****
Lyrics
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Pulling weeds and picking stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
Cause the time is close at hand
Painful rain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music from the land
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watching hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there *****
