Though staring into mouth of winter, Brooklyn seemed to be holding fast to the sunlight and its warmth.  Three days into December and we found ourselves outside in the midst of a band of merry volunteers, lugging pots, plants, and trees to the sidewalk, where the Greenway links Brooklyn Bridge Park to Columbia Street.  Jackets peeled, greeting and introductions were made, and tasked assigned. We chatted about our jobs, where we were from, new places to visit and how we we’re all adjusting to just having moved to the area.
