Emelie knows what the bird nestling in her garden is called, what her neighbor means when he talks about grazing allotments, what gooseberries look like, and why corn, squash and beans should be planted together. Navied is pleased at the prospect of yelling "Git off my property" to wildlife encroaching on his land, unintentionally sets off a chimney fire, is reluctant to use a chain saw and is profoundly uncomfortable at the prospect of hunting.
