SOOO much going on
and good we're all going....
I'm looking forward to reconnecting at Black Oaks, and cannot tomorrow.
However, I expect Nadirah, my school's (Dyett H.S.) new intern, and my
new colleague in The Green Youth Farm Project in Washington Park (51st
and King Drive) will be out there, doin th' do. About 20 of our HS
kids are hired for Summer gardening jobs. We hope to include a Summer
visit to B.O. and I'll definatly make it for that.
 Eliza, from Chgo Botanic Garden  (the project admin.) is all about it
and maybe she'll come along.
Hope you all have a great productive day.
let the sun shine in
