Hope from the Veggies

When thoughts surface,  of how hard life is, and perhaps, at times, how dishonest humans can be, something comes along to restore faith in humanity.

Just the other day, a vegetable stand stood on the side of the road.

There were cucumbers, eggplant, squash, and tomatoes, all fresh from somebody's garden.

There was no middle man to pay, no masks to wear.

I pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out.

The owner had a simple box for payment and it was, apparently, on the honor system.

She/he didn't want pennies and let it be known that if that was all the buyer had, to just wait and pay  the next time.

A simple, handwritten sign showed the incredibly reasonable prices of the veggies.

Tomatoes were three for a dollar, as were cucumbers. There was only one lonely tomato left so I bought it, as well as two cukes.

The taste of the tomato later on, sandwiched inside a BLT,  was totally delicious.

The farm stand person, who obviously trusts people, restored my waning hope in mankind and that was extremely refreshing.
