Farmer Glenn
Memorial Day weekend 2013 has been and promises to continue to be overcast, cool, with occasional rain. True, the drought for our area appears to be broken. And true again that everything is lush and green with lots of buds and flowers springing forth. Yet it is still cool and dismal.
The picture of my neighbor Glenn was taken 05/19 when we had a rare burst of warmth.
Glenn is an avid gardener. He has transformed his yard into a colorful space that the kids of the neighborhood love to visit. Indeed, our two yards, without a fence to separate them, forms a visual open space that we both enjoy.
However, over the last few years gardening has not been my top priority. I’ve been lucky to get the grass mowed. That is hen Glenn stepped in and started helping me by doing garden planning and planting. Right now he is involved in a major effort to terrace the area between our houses to improve drainage and to re-arrange the many plants that grow there. We’ve also talked about putting an apple tree on our property line.
I can say that I am very fortunate to have a neighbor like Glenn.
