To me, there's nothing more relaxing than working in my garden with bare feet. I get super dirty, but that's ok. Sometimes, if I've been at it for a while, the wifey will bring me out a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade. PLUS... I think it's good for us to reconnect with our agrarian roots - not only because its good for our health, but also because its good to know how to grow your own food. That way you're not completely dependent on someone else. We don't have a large plot by any means, but what we do have, we try and make the most of.
