Growing for Life In my younger years, I worked in five countries and traveled to around 30, gathering many recipes.

Once children watch food grow and taste it straight from a plant, and marvel at the wonder of nature, parents might find it easier to get those veggies into their children's diet. I am a licensed School Psychologist and online Statistics and Psychology instructor during the early mornings and late evenings, gardener by day, and full time mom of four children. Now, I blend cuisines from what grows seasonally in my garden so that my family can be the best versions of themselves. My children have inspired me to build garden spaces where children can play, explore, sample fresh fruits and vegetables, and get dirty. As my children grow older, I would like to share the space with parents and their children. I seem driven to share my knowledge in growing health food and preparing it with others in hope that all of our children will grow up to create healthier environments.

"There were days when Mandy didn't bother to work...She lay on her tummy in the garden and discovered that even though her garden might appear to be totally still, the more she waited and watched...the more she became aware that her garden was alive and moving in a hundred different ways. It was a wonderous thing to discover an ant carrying something twice as large as itself, or a beetle moving slowly over the blades to grass to an unknown destination. She watched the bees gathering nectar from her flowers and the small spiders scuttling in all directions. At such times she forgot about her everyday world and was transported into the kingdom of all things small where a butterfly seems like an overwhelmingly beautiful creature; where the smallest twig is a tree, and a pebble a mountain."

Trudy and I are rereading "Mandy" by Julie Andrews Edwards. I highly recommend for your summer reading and then go out and see what you can find together. These are a few friends I found this morning but I am sure when I give the kids a camera they will find more.

Langston Hughes – “April Rain Song”

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head
With silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
With its pitty-pat. The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song
On our roof at night—

And I love the rain.

My original garden, how 10 years old, is starting to be full of both planned and unplanned plants. Each one taking care of the other and feeding the soil.

A Prayer in Spring by Robert Frost

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.
