America, You Can't Hide Your Heart

It's too easy to let the noise of the day, block out the heartbeat of America.

I love our City, Long Beach.

Of course, we all love our sand, sea and sky, but do you ever get out of your car and just walk our boulevards, avenues and streets?

A drive to the store makes our city just a blur. It’s a different world when you walk. You see, you feel the heart that’s behind those doors.

I’ve written in the past about Lisa’s fantastic floral spread at Long Beach Rd and Beech St. Many of you have visited that site after I posted the photos.

But I’ve recently discovered two more gardens of love.

So, I revisited Lisa’s and added the two others. Each garden displays love in their own way. At two gardens, landscaper, Tina, shapes the land to accommodate the owner’s love.

At one garden, the love extends to the mailbox.

Check them out, see how America’s heart still beats beneath the noise:https://leebythesea.me/2022/07/03/america-you-cant-hide-your-heart/
