Chapter 71: How Does Your Garden Grow?

This is a picture I took the morning I left of Luke and Yvon's crib at Hands On that they built. We all share a little square in the back (just to the left of the planks in the foreground is my porch for reference) and recently they planted a sunflower garden just out their front door near the sun on their mural. Each of the little stakes has a name of a long-termer from Hands On written on it. Yvon left the same day that I did and he was pretty sure it was going to be his last trip down for some time. He has been down the last two winters and has done an amazing job helping out. He and Luc are really great people and a joy to be around. Yvon and his wife made two promises when they retired... 1) They would stay together, and work through anything that came their way, and 2) they would never take money for any work they did. Love you, love your work.

So, I was just going through pictures and wanted to post this because I think it's one of the things I want to see the most when I get back to Mississippi...
