citizen garden

Happy 4th July! A friend sent me this photo about 4 years ago. It feels like a very long time ago.
The photos are from Hello magazine and show the community garden the Obamas' set up at The Whitehouse.
I know the world was never as idyllic as these images suggest, but I love the gesture of that garden.
I'm sharing the photo, a small offering among all the currently uncertainty and negativity. Here's to more positive, inclusive, peaceful times.
