I was busy today helping with planting flowers and other activities, so I am keeping today's post simple.
Farmers market today: The beauty of lettuce struck me.
Green
Red.
There was more than lettuce at this stand. Bok choy.
Asparagus.
While we were at the market, someone flagged us down. It was a woman who lived across the street, a couple who befriended our then young son, a couple who cared about others. Her husband, who was disabled and could no longer work, would repair bicycles and donate them to children who couldn't afford a new one.
He passed away several years ago from cancer, and she moved away. But we still seem to run into each other once a year or so. She was with a friend, so we didn't talk long today.
We are so fortunate.
We are fortunate enough to have this market, a way to get there, and the money to purchase this food and support local farmers. And we are fortunate enough to have lives where we are healthy enough to get out and plant flowers, and for having each other.
May truly is my favorite month.
This was a good day.
I hope yours was, too.
Glad to see your post. I wondered where you were. I need to visit our local markets soon.
