Going to the farmers market on the weekend is one of our favourite things to do. Especially this time of year. The abundance of fresh food and the bright colours are so inspiring.

The best part of our trip to the market this time was meeting Maria. I had seen her last year selling her grapes and admired the character in her hands and the cheerfulness she had about her job.

This year we stopped to talk to her and find out a little about her. We told her she was beautiful and her hands are too. She asked us to touch them and feel how rough and calloused they are from years of hard work.
She found it funny that we thought she was so beautiful but she posed for a picture anyways.
Try to talk to as many people as you can. It can be scary to step out of your comfort zone but there are so many interesting stories to hear. You can learn something from everyone.
