After missing two Saturdays at BUGS being sick for a while and running the Beat Pete race, I was happily back in this spot of Boise. It was a great morning, the good weather helped us to work continuously and even more motivated and we all were in a good mood.
Our duty that day was digging a long row of 6-inches deep, water it, place the cut potatoes and bury it. The task were easy and diverse, so that we weren't burnt-out at all. Besides, we were talking all the time between each other while we were working, and it was fun to get to know more Emma, Amber, Hailey, Megan, and the others.
Once I told what did we do this Saturday, I would like to concentrate on two topics: places famous for planting some sort of vegetables and volunteering.
I was born (and I lived my whole life) in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of the Basque Country. This city is in a rural province called Araba, which is famous for its famous potatoes, too! It was really funny when I first got here and I saw in the driving plates the sentence 'Idaho, Famous Potatoes'.
I really like the idea of being famous for that, as long as we produce vegetables and we maintain traditional and healthy habits. In this days when the mass population is concentrated in cities, I dream about seeing people moving to small towns and start working, once again, in the orchards and farms. Maybe, in that way, we will become famous for the quality of our healthy life, not for a 'stupid' etiquette in our lives.
On the other hand, there were some volunteers from fraternities in the garden. Some of them they did spend a couple of hours over there, but the vast majority left in few minutes. Volunteering is really rewarding and beneficial, specially if it is full of commitment and not only related to the picture.
That's all for today, see you next time folks!
Ourselves, paying attention to Master Mike's word, while the sweaters were hanging in the sticks! Good time!
