4 Girls and 1 Guy

      Two years and one month ago I moved from Brightwood Avenue to Heiman Street.  Ahem...Heiman Street is my address.  This house is part of a Catholic Worker Community called Nashville Greenlands.  Simplicity and urban gardening are two ideas that drew my attention.  From the outside this white house appears to blend with the surroundings on this street.  Inside is a home that I have made my own.  My favorite thing about this house are the people who come and go.  
     Currently there are four girls and one guy at this residence.  Three Sarahs, a Grace, and a David.  We have a malloquin shepherd named Lucy.  She likes to play in the water, but not swim.  Lucy can climb and her name means goat dog.  Each person brings something unique.  My name is Sarah so that eliminates one of the three.  Sara-h is vegan, loves to cook, run, and say whatever is on her mind.  Her innocence and humor are refreshing.  Sara is quick and witty.  She has the best music collection I have seen in awhile and is constantly teaching me about the earth, yoga, food, and alcohol.  Grace beats to her own drum.  Her style is earthy and vintage.  I always hear her humming and see a new flower arrangement whenever I walk in the house.  David is athletic, intelligent, and can dance.  He owns a bow and a kayak.  
       These people are part of my family.  I have found something to blog about.  Heiman Street.
