OUT-OF-TOWN.

Spent the morning working in the gardens around Black Market. I found the opportunity to volunteer with a group dedicated to launching a Black owned grocery store in a part of my city that is a food desert. It was just me, my oldest son, and the owner/founder of Black Market most of the time. I hope to go again and work more in the big garden they are establishing.
