A “PEACE” OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
I LOVE visiting my sister’s little urban farm. Every visit is like a trip completely out of the city, although we could not be any closer to the heart of downtown Phoenix. This day I came home with eighteen fresh, organic eggs and three, healthy zucchinis. I make sure to bring my camera every time because her gardens and outdoor spaces are constantly changing within each season. Gracie is demonstrating the weather with her wading pool as a prop. The summer heat is back! Gracie is a rescue dog, as well as two others who live here, Jake and Oliver. Jake helps to collect the eggs and round up the chickens back into their pen after a day of roaming free. He is very helpful! He is also the kind of dog that brings in the paper and helps to carry in groceries. He is hilarious. They are all living happily ever after together and they all help to create this beautiful, urban farm lifestyle. Generally, I leave feeling inspired and motivated. They recently have been zoned for business and have been included in the expansion of the downtown Phoenix Arts district, so time will be the only thing between what is now and future possibilities. However, what is now is very, very nice. Definitely, a “PEACE” of Heaven on earth.
