What's the Metaphor?

i grew up in portland, but i had a long hiatus. My wife and i moved here from portland to the upper midwest for about nine years. We bought a small, little fix repper home in madison. And one of the things we really wanted to do, jessica grew up with her family like having huge gardens in the back yard. It's actually not normal not to grow your food in portland. Anybody you do this? A, this is just normal, right?"
