The lawn in front‚ and what must have been a spacious garden at the rear‚ long since have missed the care of the cultivator’s

Gardening One of my earliest fascinations in life was watching things grow; Observing tiny seemingly lifeless seeds turn into overgrown fruit-bearing vegetation was to me simply remarkable. My mom had a garden in the back yard and I would always help her tend to it. I used to pretend I was a farmer working on my land.
