It grew…and grew…and after I changed its
planter it grew even more.
Two weeks or so I decided that the good
outdoor bed will be better for it, so I transferred it from the planter to the
garden bed in front of our building.
The neighbours warned me that the city
gardeners will pluck it out the first chance they get; but, I watered it and cleaned the bed from cigarettes' butts, anyway. I even wrote about trekking mud indoors on the 121st Day.
Yesterday, the store owner downstairs related
that she told the gardeners to leave it alone, and they did. She also told some of her friends to stop
throwing butts into the area, and one walked further to the road in front of
us, so we can see that he is keeping the garden clean.
We rejoice, such neighborly gifts…
144 Days of Thanks -
I thank you God that you are connecting
between us and the people in our area. It is hard to be the new comer in an old
neighborhood. These acts of friendship
are gifts of Grace.
Thinking of planting another cactus,
