Day One Hundred and Eighty Nine

Garden

I contemplated taking a photo of our actual garden, but at the present time it is just a bowl of grey dust, being prepared for the fake grass that is coming. I decided that wouldn't make a very exciting photo. I worry that our children will be deprived by having fake grass and plants in their yard. They will never know grass stains, or be woken by the sound of a lawn mower or smell wet grass after the rain through their bedroom window. Maybe I'm being melodramatic, but unfortunately with the current weather patterns we've been having, fake grass seemed liked the most practical option. Today's photo is a flower that Jada picked for me on a walk to the beach with Pa. I think that environment is transient, and as long as they are surrounded by people that teach them to appreciate the beauty in nature, that is the most important thing.
