There’s a woman driving slowly down highway 27 in their direction, and every couple of miles, she opens her window and lets a handful of something human-tasting scatter in the wind.
Q: Do you have a garden? Have you ever grown your own food?
A: My wife is a hobbit of a woman. She spends most of her free time in our garden. While I’ve dabbled with a vegetable or two, she’s got the green thumb in our family. During the summer, we spend a lot of time outside. I’m usually focused on a woodworking project while she’s digging around in the dirt somewhere.
