is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and purple or black is water.

completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter ad eat
the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat
things at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in
winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.
We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food.
Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in
the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about
modern life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country,
they miss real life.
