Left Page:
THE MANSION EAST OF US SPORTS A BLM SIGN. AND IT REMAINS. NO VANDALS.

Right Page:
our garden grows.
Help us expand this garden of healing, color, joy and love for one another.
We will focus on one lesson each month. Please use them to spread the message. Help us all in our steps to heal each other and our planet.
In sixty years and four, there've been hailstorms, destructive winds, droughts and we continue without the vision of a blossoming garden.
When we all flourish.
