For now, he obtains his little square box in the church area garden. I’m not a nature woman however did find a book title that caught my eye in the library. It was “Farewell, My Subaru”, created by Doug Penalty. It captured my focus since that’s the brand name of cars and truck I drive. The cover image was charming, with a garden expanding under the hood of the car.
