Old Lady in the GardenThe 'Old Lady in the Garden' once was a staple of the American neighborhood. It didn't matter whether it was flowers or vegetables, she was there. I've become her yet slightly more tech savy than my predecessors of past generations. A sore green thumb assures me that nothing surpasses the knowledge passed through the ages or the lessons yet to learn. She'd snicker at my attempts and take me aside. I sit out on a nearby apartment step and listen to the frogs call. This is my mantra to soothe away the stresses of the day. Much as I imagine it was for my great grandparents. One frog serenading a mate as my 'Nana' nestled in the arms of her husband so many years ago. May some things never change. Now it's my turn to till the earth and welcome the healing rains. There's an old red dog basking in her twilight years chillin' in the melon patch. Funny how I allow her to walk through the garden... never mind the fall seedlings.
