*"Let's go work in the garden." Now that's a phrase Sharon Lovejoy says she just doesn't understand. To her, and to the parents and children who revel in her books, the garden is pure and simple a place of joy. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, taking the toil out of tilling, and all the plays of Shakespeare in no time at all."

Sadly, "Sambo" died in December, but the University says his death has only deepened its commitment to the Rural Studio.SEGMENT 3:
