かれこれ1ヶ月程の間にSnowBurgも変わってきた。前の庭に植わっていた木が抜かれ、新たな堆肥作り場や畑が作られ始めていた。
大きな機械を使わず、人の手だから瞬時に…ではないかもしれないけれど、少しずつ、ゆっくり、でも着実に変わっている。
お気に入りの歌、Garden Songを思いだす。
The snow
burg has changed a quit bit since last winter as well. The small
pine trees grown on the front garden have been removed, and there are composed
piles and new garden.
Things are mostly done by men's hands, so it may not be a rapid, rather a little, slow and yet steady changing.
I remember one of my favorite songs, "the garden song."

The Garden Song
by David Mallet
Inch by inch, row by row Gonna make this garden grow Gonna mulch it deep and low Gonna make it fertile ground Inch by inch, row by row Please bless these seeds I sow Please keep them safe below 'Till the rain comes tumbling down Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones We are made of dreams and bones Need a place to call my own 'Cause the time is close at hand Grain for grain, sun and rain Find my way in nature's chain Till my body and my brain Tell the music of the land Plant your rows straight and long Season with a prayer and song Mother Earth will make you strong If you give her loving care
