Running out for a fresh tomato or lettuce or snacking on carrots with a tiny bit of dirt on them and the delicious smells of earthy dampness. I love the time I spend by myself in my garden with just trees and earth and sky around me and the occasional deer jumping because I scared it or someone calling for me and knowing they should just run to the garden to find me or knowing I can spend an hour out there in shorts and a t-shirt and no one will see me.

I love bowls filled to overflowing with green beans and rows and rows of canned goods on my pantry shelves.
