When I think of the Collister area, I think of small farms and orchards. Today, this area retains a lot of these big lots and garden plots. For the electrical box, I drew a lot of vegetables, especially a large cabbage...and the proud person who grew it. I also was thinking of Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Gardens. She wanted everyone to grow their own vegetables as a way to sustain themselves and others! And I drew some poppies and iris because they grow everywhere!
