When I went to the Mansion this morning for my weekly meditation class, five or six residents asked me to thank you – the Army Of Good – for buying out their wish list a month ago; it requested seeds, pots, pans, and garden tools.

The list was sold out almost instantly. I saw these flowers growing in the activity room, where they check them and water the flowers at least twice a day.

I can’t emphasize enough the power of color and flowers to brighten their rooms, the Mansion, and their lives. Thank you once more for supporting our Mansion work; it makes a greater difference than you might imagine.

Because of your generosity, they will be ready to plant their flowers in just a couple of weeks. The gardens light up their souls and spirits.

Thanks also to Julie, the Mansion Activity Director, for keeping such a close eye on these young plants.
