When I was a kid I made up a game that I called “Live off the land”. The goal was to stay outside and only eat what I could forage. I mean, we’ve all been there..right?
Note, my dad is a master gardener, and we had fruit trees. It wasn’t a difficult challenge. I kept a salt shaker next to the tomatoes- Life was good.
A friend reminded me yesterday “Try not to be like everyone else, she said, there will come a time when the pieces that are not you will fall away easily”.
Well, I did try to be like everybody else and lost that little girl who wanted so badly to live off the land.
However, I am working my way back to find her. Because, I think she’s pretty cool, and I’ve discovered that I can do hard things.
The last week of the Farmer’s Market was a delight. Thank you Grand Forks.
