Hillcrest Farmers" Market, San Diego, California
Going back to bed.

Note from Sammy
February 25, 07
"My experience at the Farmer's Market has been
very enjoyable. I get to see all of the different typles
of flowers and produce and getting to know new friends.
I will aleasure tresure these unforgetable moments"
--Samantha Jara
She has a Seed Dream to go to Australia
with a group of young people this summer.
"I want to go to Australia because I would
like to see different cultures and traditions
at a different part of the world. I am
looking forward to the people and new activities
in the South Pacific."

[The original of this in in the Joe the Farmer
notebook.
One of the pages in
"The Comeback of Joe the Farmer"
still to be created, tells the story
of Papa Joe.
"Joe the Farmer and his dad have been farming
for four generations. Papa Joe.
is concerned about telling the younger
kids to continue farming.
I have a lovely series of photos of Sammy,
the daughter of Sylvia and Gil.
Sylvia is one of the six offspring of Papa
Joe. She is the youngest daughter, a sister
of Joe the Farmer. Sylvia is a midwife,
and works a number of other jobs as well
to make ends meet. She has high vision.
In the Hispanic tradition even when married,
the daughters often carry the the family name.
When I asked Sylvia a few weeks ago what her
last name was, she said Rodriquez.
her daughter Sammy has been my Poster Child
for numbers of projects, including
the "The Lettuce Grow Together" poster
for the International Feng Shui confedrence.
More later...
upload birthday...

her trip...
to Australia...
I have pictures of Sammy since she was about two feel tall,
helping at the Farmer's Market.
She is 14 now.
She is a very bight young lady.
I took photos of her last on Sunday.
She is raising money to go to Australia this summer
with her school group.
I am going to post some photos of Sammy here.
They are a series I am including
on my Digital CD, "The Comeback of Joe the Farmer."
I will work on this later...
birthday 9/16/92
____
This letter psychically found me
this morning...as I was looking for
something else. I was looking for the photo original
of Lettuce Grow Together. Note, I mentioned
wanting to find the birthday list above.
The birthday list found me.
This is one of the positive aspects of
Mercury Retrograde. The veils between
the worlds are thinner...thoughts can become
things....I am also being surrounded by
lots of Spirit right now, wanting to help
me do the work of many people.
They key is balance as much as possible.
I am eating better....aspiriing to remember
that Dr. Bernard Jensen taught a Balanced
Daily Regimen as the Key to Health.

Dear Rina,
director of Jewish Education
B’nai Horin community
subject: Tzdakka projects for the new year
supporting “Happiness is Organic! Friend of the Farm campaign
cc. Rabbi Stan Levy
When I think of all the service projects I would like to see kids helping do, the Happiness is organic! Friend of the Farm project comes to mind. I would like the kids in the B’nai Horin Mitzvah program to write letters of birthday greeting to members of the Rodriguez family once this birthday list is complete. I would like the kids to help make a holy world by eating and purchasing food from the Rodriquez family. This food is available at the Santa Monica Farmers market each Saturday from 8 to 1:30 P.M. This Farmer’s Market is located at
26th and Pico. Look for the biggest truck that says, support local farmer, or look for the big flower display, and the sign that says Certified organic food.
This family also brings flowers to the market. I would like the kids to purchase flowers to give for Shabbat to their mothers for helping making happy homes. This is a good way the kids and can say thank you to their parents for helping give them a good home and Jewish education.
Best Wishes,
Your Enchanted Gardener
