walking to school: the garden

There is a large garden that I pass on my way to and from school everyday.  If it's a warm morning, I usually see an old woman bent over tending to it.  This amazes me for a few reasons: 1) She is the only one I ever see in the garden
2) It's easily one of the biggest gardens I've ever seen and 3) She is very old.  She uses an abandoned baby carriage to move harvested vegetables around.  It appears that she is the only one who takes care of this sprawling mass of plants.  There is a small makeshift shack along the edge that I assume she sits in when it's cold or uses as storage.  I very much hope that is not where she lives.  I like walking past the garden because it reminds me to take a deep breath and be grateful.  I'm a bit sad that today I saw the old woman covering some of the land in plastic for the winter.  I look forward to seeing the garden in full bloom again come spring.
