The vibrant colors of the morning sky seemed to energize Olivia as she stepped outside. She took a deep breath, and she smiled as she watched her neighbor Mrs. Chen waving from over the fence. She felt as though she could do anything. Mrs. Chen smiled and said “Olivia, could I ask you a question. I know it’s a big ask, but can I…”

Olivia felt her heart fill with joy, and she felt compelled to help. “Of course. What is it, Mrs. Chen?”

Mrs. Chen seemed to grow in confidence. “I was thinking of a garden! The empty spot near the fence.” Olivia’s spirits soared. “Wonderful! I have some extra tools we can use!”
