@ 10:57 am. 61.5°F, 82% humidity, NW 1.3 mph wind, cloudy This is the worst harvest of onions I have ever had. Could be a few reasons for this but the soil I know was good.

I haven’t seen him in 5 years. The gritty details is his story to tell but it was traumatic theContinueContinue reading “Navigating Family Trauma: Reuniting with My Incarcerated Brother”
