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 ***** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3FkaN0HQgs
