"Everyone who can stand, stand now. If you can help others, do so." ~Welles Crowther

My red bandana:  community, gardens, and writing.  I support community gardens, am part of Catalyst's CGC Birmingham, and am anxiously anticipating DISCO's EatDrinkReadWrite Festival starting this week; however, I have something to confess I do not have the greenest of thumbs!  Well, at least not at my own tree-lined shady slice of heaven I call home on Oglesby.  But, they say take it in small steps, so an update to my esperanza para las circle of pansies on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we have banana peppers at Jardin de GH.  Great on pizza, and best when grown in a bird bath.  Banana with pepper, perhaps my new approach to life, peace with a kick and in gratitude to the charming gardeners in my life.
