I spent a lot of time with him in my younger years on the ridge! The entire house (wēkiam) was surrounded by gardens (mōnahekanan). There was always fresh vegetables (pīcekaen) for us to eat. He had chicken coops, and every day, we had to help gather eggs (wāwanan). We’d feed the chickens and make sure they were taken care of. People would come from miles around to buy fresh eggs (wāwanan) and vegetables (pīcekaen). Grandfather had grapes (sōmenan), chokecherries (wīkīhsemenahtekok), and apple trees (mēqsemenātekok) growing in the yard. There were also maple trees (sōpomāhtekok).”
