“You’ll wanna let that sit for a good while.”

I spent the afternoon working on the campus farm yesterday. I pulled a gazillion weeds, learned how brussel sprouts grow, and spent a couple hours chatting with a Swedish pharmacy student about socialism and immigration and education. The rain poured and I felt all at one with my body and the Earth in a glorious, hippy-dippy kind of way. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon, working with my hands and playing in the dirt. And I got to harvest these lovely vegetables to take home and fill my belly. Although I won’t be eating that butternut squash for a while. Turns out I wasn’t innately gifted with the ability to perceive the ripeness of squashes.

Cheers to learning experiences and trying new things.

Happy Saturday.
