It's 7 PM and I look out of the kitchen window. I see the trees in my garden and the last rays of sunshine shining through the leaves. I stand up and take another look at the trees I planted years ago. A soft wind drifts outside, making the leaves covering the signs I put up infront of each tree. Each sign tells me what kind of fruit the tree bears. I take a quick glance at the beds full of vegetables being ready to be picked and turned into delicious meals. I smile and think back when my family and I spent money and time to buy food from supermarkets. Those days are long gone, nowadays, it is common to make meals with the food from your own garden. No more food left overs in supermarkets because of miscalculated daily supplies. No more grocery shoppings with your car. Each family can feed themselves with food coming directly from their garden. Since we can supply ourselves with vegetables and fruits, most of the country's food are exported and donated to countries in need.
"What are you looking at? The dinner is ready." My mom says and gives me a slight push towards the dinner table. I sit down and look at the happy faces of my family and parents who come visit us every weekend. "The tomatoes this year are gorgeous. Very sweet and juicy!" My dad tells us. I dip a slice of bread into the tomato soup and take a bite. "Oh you are right and you did a fabulous job on this soup, dad!" I say and smile at my father.
