Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

I was out shopping yesterday evening in town in a frequented store called Azra.  My market man (I text him my vegetable shopping list and he delivers to me at Azra) brought me my order right as I was checking out at the store.  He knew another customer who was there shopping and she asked him for lettuce, or saladi in Swahili.  He said every vendor in the market is out.  Little did he know at the time that my next lettuce crop is on the verge of coming in.  I asked him if he would like some and of course he would!  He also asked for seeds if I had them.  I have so many I can’t plant them all!

So, today I took him a whole head of seeds and a plastic bag full of baby romaine sprouts for him to plant in his garden.  The gift hardly cost me a thing but should earn him a decent amount of income in the market especially since that is the place for ‘specialty’ items.
