My walks are becoming a moveable feast what with windfall apples and pears at the least. Half a mile north is the house with the tree drooping over the sign reading, “Pick figs. They’re free.” Over this fence crawls a bramble of berries. In that vacant lot is a tree full of cherries. Next to the street in the shade of the trees is a pile of zucchini with a note, “Take some. PLEASE.” You’re bombarded with plums if you stroll down that hill. Hanging over the sidewalk is fennel and dill. Don’t steal a tomato. That’s really so rude when, wherever you turn, you’re surrounded by food. I can snack my way out, and then nibble back home. It’s a moveable feast, wherever I roam.
