Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Since the pandemic we couldn’t go out to town that much. We made our farm/garden bigger. We got our chickens. There were about 12 of them and we started working on the garden. Everything in our yard at that time was edible. Then when a dog jumped our fence we started to build an enclosure. It took us about a year to get it done, but we still have a few more fences to drill on. For the entire summer of 2020 we had something to eat from the pandemic straight from our garden. Which is something we usually don’t do since we don’t have the time.
