Kirkus Review
I have enjoyed reading the reviews #WeHaveSomethingtoSay has received. It is interesting to me what readers hear and want to share. This particular #bookreview was especially interesting, as it is the only one so far that hit on the #Latinx issue that is sprinkled in throughout the book. Thank you, #KirkusReview https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/sonia-myers/we-have-something-to-say/

However, it is a process, and I was able to get a few other things done to get the garden looking a lot better today.Continue reading “Each Day is Another Day of Progress”
Appreciation
Working on this garden has really made me appreciate those that do hard manual labor, landscaping, hired gardening and maintenance.

I charged the battery, watched a couple YouTube videos (so I didn’t completely screw up), and went out to see how it would work. Besides my forearmsContinue reading “Weed Wacker!”
