From the moment she woke up in the morning, Mrs. Jones smiled at the thought of her garden.
Most mornings, she'd scald her mouth trying to gulp down her coffee so that she could get outside
while the ground was still damp from the morning dew. Once she knelt down in the soil, she lost
track of all time and all concerns of her body. She would work well into the evening, barely

jeans were always stained on the knees with thick mud, and her arms were always bruised and
scraped. But she didn't mind a bit.
