Chinese Spinach


 A few weeks ago, I was weeding in the front yard and the grandma across the street came over and gave me this bag of Chinese spinach.  This is not the neighbours next door who also give me vegetables. Anyway, I think she likes my weeding work ethic!  She is Chinese and doesn't speak English.  I say grandma, I am also a grandma, albeit slightly younger.

There’s something interesting about how quiet acts like weeding can bridge cultures and generations without a single word spoken.

How kind of her. I've never had it. I don't know many of my neighbors anymore in the neighborhood.

How sweet of this lady. A smile and a touch of kindness can speak across the language barrier. She obviously recognizes a good person :)
