(53,661 posts)The segment on the garden was interesting, I remember when Michelle first started it. Since it is an organic garden, there were protests in the media and many vicious attacks made against her and her healthy eating ideas. Which are just common sense!
The Obama Hate Machine went into full gear on her and everything she did, yet she keeps her sense of balance and moved forward.
Loved that little bit with Bo and the pics. Thanks Sheshe!

I found this, the rebirth of what was and what will be. I didn't have to look hard it was the first link I clicked on. Amazing because it was perfect. It happens to be about New England, however it is about all of us.
There are two kinds of birth these perennial plants go through. They are born from a seed first, watered and nurtured. That is their beginning.
When the cold weather comes around months later, the plants seem to die. They dry up, brown, and lay down their lives to the ground below. For the frosty months, there is no life; there are no flowers or productivity to behold. Then the spring comes, bringing with it warmer days, and the plants are born again, not from seed this time, but from death: life delivered where there was, just days ago, no apparent life.
This is the way our lives rise, fall and rise again. We encounter grief, things look bleak, they knock us down, yet we rise and renewal comes in some way, some form. What is the power working deep in the underground to stir our hearts to rise again?
To our First Lady Michelle. To her love and respect for this Country, I can not thank her enough!

Wow..thanks, she!

I love it when Lee Cowan reaches out to touch the apple tree. "Don't touch it" and they start giggling.
So sweet~
