Hey there Beth- I didn't share with Mary the reason I like this story so much.
When I inherited this property (and the work) after the storm, I was out there every day digging through decades of pounded down gravel-the yard had been a driveway since the late 70's.
I took more than my share of ridicule for thinking I was going to get a garden out of it.
Well, three years and lots and lots of 'cracked pots and rusty 'thingys' and whatever i found that had shape or color-my yard is still not what you would call a garden-but not a day goes by that someone does not stop to tell me how peaceful and beautiful it is.
I wanted to make an oasis of peace in the midst of chaos and at least for me it is and I think for the passers by as well.
(Oh-I just goggled 'cracked pot'-LOL)

Joyce, what a beautiful story. You took a bad situation, the hurricane Katrina and made something of value. There is always beauty in all the storms of life if we are patient and see how all will work out.

You made lemonade when life gave you lemons.
