My Flower Garden Ready for Inspection
Women Sweeping Grass Clippings
The pitch is feverish as entire families prepare for the monthly inspection by the Village Women’s Committee. Grass is cut and then swept up. Weeds are pulled by hand from gardens, roads, and walkways. Bushes are trimmed. No one wants to be fined or worse yet thought of not keeping the village looking beautiful. This is Samoa at what I once considered asinine and now join the frenzy to make sure my little flower garden passes muster.
