Balcony-Garden

Genesis 2 : 8 - 9a (NKJV)
The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.  And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food.

Genesis 2 : 10a (NKJV)
Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden.

Genesis 2 : 15 (NKJV)
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

From the beginning of time, there was a garden.  There was a river to water it.  There was a man to tend and keep it.

In land-scarced Singapore, finding a home with a garden or a backyard is an expensive idea so the Swallow has to be contented with her little balcony-garden.  She may not be able to grow trees, but she is happy just growing plants in pots and all kinds of container.  Sometimes making do without soil, the greenery and the occasional flower bring her bursts of delight whenever she looks at them.
