A beautiful place to live

Okay, I'll admit it.
I LOVE Long Island.
It is one beautiful place to live.
The farms are plentiful, the beaches beautiful and we have so many quaint towns filled with charming shops.
Every where I go different things catch my eye. And this week was no different.
Right in the middle of a historic town, not far from my town, a community garden has sprung up.
River and Roots Community garden.

Participants receive an 8' by 4' raised bed to plant in for $25.00 per year.
This is the garden's first year and it looks great!
While I stopped to capture these photos, I met a retired police officer and his young daughter checking on their tomatoes. It is the first time they have ever had a garden! Love that!

This piece of land that is owned by the town  was sitting idle and encouraged vagrants to hang out.
Now it is a lovely garden that has a picnic area, compost pile, tool shed and lots of veggies and flowers!

Next is a field that is on my way home that always makes me smile!

                                                   "Always turn your face to the sun"!

                                                                       And back home again

Because the gardens in the back yard are almost more than I can keep up with, We keep the front simple.
