So I have these neighbors. They do not speak English. They are Chinese, possibly from southern China. And they have the great fortune of living in the garden apartment---which means they have access to the backyard. So from the brothers' bedroom window I have been dealing with loss. Mourning the fact that I no longer have a spot of dirt to dig in. I no longer have a place to teach my children about food and biology and ecology; no longer have a place to be shocked by a lurking mammoth zucchini that is then shredded and frozen in zucchini bread ingredient proportions to be enjoyed throughout the year; no longer have a place to experiment w trellising cantaloupes or colorful, oddly shaped heirloom varieties of tomatoes. It is sad---it is VERY sad. But my valiant, industrious, immigrant neighbors are growing food right below our windows. I somehow feel better because of it...

Only exclusive bridal jewelry set can it give you this feeling. And the beautiful but affortable gemstone pendant and the cultured pearl earrings would make you wedding more lasting.
