yard work

cant you see dozens of these?  filled with fresh lettuces in the winter and brimming over with heirloom melons that crack in your hands when perfectly ripe in the summer. fresh basil for your pesto in the late autumn, a sprig of lavender for your pillow so you can sleep in january. all painted the same green as the steps and soon the doors, so that it is an evergreen area in the coldest and loneliest part of winter. filled with soil that was processed with your own hands.  little green boxes of hope, life and renewal.
