# 14 Sylvia saves the DAY, NECESSARY

need vs nourish --> natural
N is for the emotional feeling, NECESSARY

Sylvia Saves the DAY. 

I wrote this story 1992 after my volunteer position as Regional Advisor for SCBWI in 1989, For 10 years before storytelling, I weeded and trimmed plants with my best friend Janet; we handled about 24 gardens in our neighborhood.  We learned about weeds planted by clients. Weed seeds even grew in the dark.

Beyond the sun, wind, moon, snow, and rain is a gardener. 

I saw Sylvia...
