On Monday evening, DH and I went to purchase a 6' back blade for our tractor. He'd heard about it from a guy at work; it's in practically brand new shape, great price, and a foot longer than the one we currently own. Great price being, practically as much as we can now put our much older, shorter one, up for sale at.
So we drove 45 minutes to go pick it up from an older gentleman. Who helped DH load it, so I wouldn't have to. Nice that there are still some chivalrous men in the world. :o)
While we were there, DH commented on the abundance of this man's asparagus bed. Ours is slow, and stunted, compared to what we saw growing in the older gentleman's garden.
Immediately, the man offered us all the asparagus we could pick! We took home about two meals worth, not wanting to be greedy.
Just as we were going to get into the truck and head home, the nice stranger asked if I'd like some fresh chives to take home also. He then proceeded to pull two large handfuls from the herb bed.
For dinner last night, we had pot roast (aka "Zeke", formerly a Holstein steer), with steamed asparagus, and boiled potatoes topped with sour cream and chives. Thanks to a stranger, it was an awesome meal.
