Foragers

Was at the north end of the property Saturday morning and saw these six, friendly foragers. They are the neighbors' kids and all attend our school. The one on the far left and the kid with the yellow shirt have sweet potatoes in the fold of their shirts. They followed our tractor as it plowed over a field for a new crop and picked up the potatoes that had been left behind.
A good friend of ours, John Luongo, brought this verse to my attention:
"When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not go over it again; it shall be for the alien, the orphan and the widow." Deut 24:21
Thanks, J.L.

  1. Nice that nothing goes to waste. Neighbors should be happy to have extras.
