Garden of Life

Buddha + gardening + books + watercoloring + a good friend or two = my life!

When wishes are few, the heart is happy.

More from Halloween night. This could be the poster to a superhero movie: &#8220;Team Temple!&#8221; The characters: Capt. Jake Sparrow - fair and just leader of the crew, can scale any tree in under 1 minute. Lt. Felice - so skinny she can fit through/in anything, has superhuman strength even though she doesn&#8217;t look it. Skipper Cindy - with supersonic hearing and catlike reflexes. Fairy Annie - awesome flying skillz and protector of all with her pixie dust. GO US!!!
