		<description><![CDATA[I have not eaten any commercially produced chicken product since the line was drawn (in  my mind) in October 2009.  Nothing.  Nada.  Tempted?  No.  The only chicken that has been in my mouth came from our backyard.  Shhh, don&#8217;t tell them.  And be careful what you say around Jett!  I have, however, continued to eat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite my best efforts to ignore it, the garden just will not go away!  I haven&#8217;t hoed or sown or watered in months (just don&#8217;t ask), yet still hot peppers, green &#038; yellow bell peppers, chinese eggplant, sunflowers and even tomatoes are still popping up.  Amazing.
I also have bottle gourds and one, just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I woke up to the smell of stewing chicken.  It drifted through the house, all the way back to the bedroom, and permeated my dreams until I woke thinking &#8220;what is that smell&#8221;?  Honestly, it didn&#8217;t smell that good so early in the morning.  I thought someone farted.  Since [...]]]></description>

Our neighbor came over the other day and harrowed the area for us to help get the clumps of grass and weeds somewhat under control so there is room for the plants we prefer to [...]]]></description>

I rise
Up from a past that&#8217;s rooted in pain
I rise
I&#8217;m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that&#8217;s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of [...]]]></description>
