My hands hard black with dirt, my nails unable to be cleaned.
Back ripened from the sun and knees covered in the hearts of tomatoes.
I got a job on an organic farm, a few towns over from where I live, harvesting and have been working full days, full days of fresh air and fresh produce. I have a job I like working. I have my best friend right beside me to pick and sing with. Veronica and I will be either camping in the back, or staying in a cabin at the far end of the farm. There is a pond and boats to go out on. There will be a carnival starting there soon too which we will help with, and a petting zoo, full of cute baby chicks and all sorts of fluffy fun. I love my boss, and my life.
This is why you don’t make plans you just act when it feels necessary, and you end up loving your life.
