That’s tough connecting with ancestors that are hard to connect with! I think it’s lovely that you are still trying to find ways to do that 💜

I haven’t certain food memories from my ancestors but I mainly connect to them through gardening, not that I’m skilled but all my grandparents were keen gardeners of flowers and veggies.

Gardening (not that I have a garden, but I do have house plants) is huge on my dad’s side of the family. My nana was an avid gardener. Her dad was a farmer. My dad IS a farmer, and like hardcore with the chemistry aspect. He’s out here doing crazy soil chemistry just because he thinks it’s cool. I should have a much greener thumb than I do 😅😅😅

My nana also raised llamas and goats. She broke wild horses and rode bareback. I absolutely can’t stand any three of those animals lmao. I’m a city girl who would be happy with 3 hens and a flock of ducks that I could pick up and snuggle 😂 I miss having ducks… and fresh salad 😂
