The Rose

The stem that's growing is from a rose stem. And that it's just growing in water. It's going to be planted outside and roses are going to grow on it! Well if we plant it out here where the goats are, they'll probably eat it. How about if we plant out here next to the garlic? In between the garlic and the goats.
Roses are pretty, they smell nice, and they make your house smell fragrant.

The Story of My Life: A poem by Forrest Hellum

Nice day out
Be the spirit within you
Always be truefull
And feel the love of happiness
Soul of eyes
And beauty of the one you know
I am the one you seek
that
A true meaning of life
If you dare
Go
Pass my life
to you,
and you
Soul mate.

My uncle Michael. In a hospital in New York City. I am everybody's in the whole wide world worst nightmare. Thank you so much. It will be perfect.
Love,

Preparing for OPEN

On Thursday 12.2.10, the Project Grow family pulled together to run some errands for Open. One group went to Sunlan on Mississippi Avenue in North Portland to purchase gallery appropriate bulbs. To celebrate our successful mission, we dropped by Blue Gardenia to sip on some hot chocolate and chat. Team Together!
