No community is built overnight. The seeds of mutual support and trust take time to root, and they need care, patience and vision to flourish. Fortunately, Lynn Hannley was a gifted gardener. She understood how to cultivate community through cooperation and compassion — a vision she nurtured over decades, helping others find safe, sustainable housing and a sense of home.
Until I moved to the city, I thought blue jays were a rare bird. I’m not sure why I felt they weren’t around much, but I remember Mom’s excitement any time one flew through the backyard. When I was a kid, she’d sing me her modified version of “Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah” during bath time, scooping water to rinse the shampoo from my hair, trilling, Mister Blue Jay on your shoulder… and I’d feel him there, the blue jay, on my shoulder when she sang those words.
