Today I had some time to kill so I was driving around. I spotted a big beautiful yellow fig growing in someone’s yard.
I was a little hesitant at first, to ask if I could try one, but parked and knocked on the front door.
An older lady answered the door and was so delighted that I stopped. She had been feeling sad all day and said I was the best news she’s had in a long time.
She excitedly told me how she grew this tree from a seed 40 years ago and how she would give its seedlings to friends when the fallen fruit had sprouted new plants.
She gave me some fruit, a bunch of cuttings, and even a piece of rare cactus. She was a collector of plants. I made a new friend.
To be honest, today was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time as well.
