Free Hugs and Pumpkins

Depending upon the season, I usually have some idea of what I will find at the Farmer’s Market. But there are always the surprises… like today. A mother and daughter were walking through the crowd with a hand-lettered sign that read “Free Hugs.” And sure enough, every once in a while someone would get a big hug. Even Bob and me. I enjoyed my hug and then asked why they were doing this. The mother said, “This is National Make a Difference Day.” And we can all use a hug… or give one.

No surprise – pumpkins were the stars of the market today.
