Today, I decided to drag my daughter out to the local farmer's market to see if there were any bargains to be had. I was in luck, and snagged a bag full of zucchini at 4/$1. (I LOVE zucchini bread!) Also, we found a local baker there with some yummy loaves of bread. There was apple-cinnamon, raspberry chocolate, raisin cinnamon, rosemary herb, jalpeno cheese and pepperoni rolls, among others. I had to keep my mouth shut because of the drooling. I just handed over the money silently and raced back home to try out the jalapeno cheese bread. Ooh! It was delicious! I warmed up a slice and put a little fresh cheddar on it. Oh my....
With regards to polygenerosity.....
At the farmer's market, there was a man sitting under his awning with vegetables spread all around in those cute little quart baskets. He was an older gentleman, with a plump middle and a scruffy face. (I imagined him in a pair of blue overalls and they fit him perfectly.) He watched us walk all the way around the market and then around again. On our second time around, he smiled a crooked smile and said, "That's a cute little boy ya got there! Oh....it's a girl!" Vivie just put her head down and kept walking, but I laughed and smiled back at him. It was a polygenerous moment for me. Reaching out to strangers with no selfish gain.
