Seeds of Love

"Wow! What a price!" my mom said as we checked out of the discount store.


"Please go back and grab as many seed packets as you can," she instructed.


I turned around and went toward the back of the store. There was a display there with all sorts of seed packets--seeds for flowers and vegetables. I wasn't sure what mom wanted, but I started grabbing handfuls until I couldn't hold any more.


I ran back to the cash register and dumped them onto the counter.


"How's this?" I asked.


"That's great!" Mom answered.


"What do you need all these seed packets for, anyway?"


"Just a second," Mom answered.


"That will be $3.00," said the cashier.


I stared in disbelief. Only $3.00 for all that? There must have been over 100 seed packets in that pile. There were seeds for beets and marigolds, lettuce and snapdragons, tomatoes and alyssum and more!
