This is not a picture of whom I am writing but the garden looks similar. 

Down where the willow trees blossoms And the pear blooms white as snow Old man works a garden that is awesome He's worn out from years of work that was gusto And the pear blooms white as snow Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace He's worn out from years of work that was gusto There'll be a pear crop in this place Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace Old man works a garden that is awesome There'll be a pear crop in this place Down where the willow tree blossoms

Being a country girl, I can relate to all of these wonderful poems, and it is if you were looking out from my own yard! And yes....this country gardener has runny eyes and nose, but you can't keep me indoors!! Love all three poems, Sara!
