Goodness 11.4.23

There is so much this storyteller wants to capture on her seed, like PRESENCE. The market was here, in person, consistently, all throughout the pandemic.

The abundance of apples and peaches from Black Rock Orchard, which she buys in bulk to make cobblers for her church. Chef John Shields from Gertrude’s Kitchen buys from Black Rock too. She sees him wheeling around his wagon. I wonder if there is a sense of commonality and pride in sharing a suki with John Shields.

As this storyteller rattles off all the things she wants to capture on her seed, a stranger sees her husband’s Rouse’s Market tote bag, which apparently is a grocery store in New Orleans. She is from New Orleans and is excited by this connection, by this shared home.
