DeAnna Britt differentiate us a special garden story .
" My name is DeAnna Britt , and I garden in Everett Washington , on a quarter acre in the city . We have been here for 21 year , and the garden has evolved with me .
Here is a story that I write about the garden :
I am twenty - seven , and my husband and I just bought this small house on a quarter acre , and we are moving in with our three small boy ; The Frog Catcher , the Sparkle - Eyed Toddler , and The Fat Baby with Red Hair . The land around the house suits us , empty and yet full at the same metre , with patches of buttercup and brave blowball , lily-livered and green spilling into puddle without shape or form . I am very fussy , and strong . Even with the fat babe on my back , I can do so many thing . The old woman comes from the next house over , and tell me how glad she is to see my family move in . Her children play in this pace with the one that dwell here before , about fifty years ago , and she sees my boy and remembers . The Toddler interrupts us , and he is naked . He has buried his pants . I dig them up ( they were his best ones , of course ) , and I see how rich the soil is , glum and fine , and then I mark the broken chicken cage over the new property line of merchandise . I know that this was once a chicken farm and I am felicitous . "
