A garden for others
The morning after the House passed its health care bill, my daughter and I planted some seeds.

The other day my daughter and I planted our garden. We’ll never see the fruit.
In a few months, we’ll move 30 miles down the road, from Durham, North Carolina, to a new home in Wake County. On Friday we woke up, the ground soft from the rain. We turned over soil, loosened the surly roots of crab grass and dandelion that crept in over the winter. We pulled out the seashell decorations and twig forts that occupied the little ones through early spring.
I wasn’t sure we’d put in a garden this year. But Thursday night the House of Representatives passed its latest bill to replace the Affordable Care Act. And I knew it was time.
