After a brief hiatus, I am back.
I had a the great need for a “mental health” vacation. Let’s leave it at that.
New Orleans is really being good to us these days. Beautiful sunny weather, perfectly warm not-quite 80 degree weather. Nothing to complain about!
I’ve been starting to volunteer at Samuel J. Green Charter School on Valence St. near where I live. They have an Edible School Yard, modeled after Alice Waters’ project in Berkeley, California. Their organic garden is an oasis. I feel incredibly fortunate to be given the opportunity to share this special place with so many gifted children.
They sell starter plants, herbs, and fruits/vegetables from their garden every first Saturday of the month at the Freret Street Market. Everything is organic and profits a community built on love for children. 99% of them below the poverty line. That’s what I call big love.
