Can you believe that I grew up on a farm? Yup! A real farm with pigs, chickens, ducks and crops. We also had peach, apple and pear trees, grape vines, strawberries, persimmons, watermelons and a huge garden. Oh how I miss those days. Staining my clothes from eating dewberries. Eating cold watermelon on the steps. Gorging on apples until I got a stomach ache. I didn’t appreciate that life then and remember counting down the days until I left for college. I think it’s like that for most people regardless of where they’re from though. I’m itching to go back one day.

My ideal home is on a farm with my dogs, cat and some goats. I want to look out my floor to ceiling wooden framed windows and view acres and acres of farm land. My back yard will end at the forest and will be a haven for a family of deer. I can do some gardening unbothered and harvest the freshest tomatoes, butter beans, okra, black eyed peas, corn, cabbage, peppers and watermelon ever! I’m determined to have this again one day. Y’all can have the city. Lol -K
