Beyond that hill is a magnificent house owned by Sadie.
As a young widow, Sadie had to work hard to supply food for her family.
One day she plowed up a treasure. Half million dollars worth. Lots of money in those days.
Sadie was a worker. She liked to produce something with her hands. She tried out growing plants. Worthwhile plants. Eureka! She found her calling.
She has help now. But she is still happiest when she is nurturing the folks who drop by for free vegetables.
Inside the stand is Sadie’s inspiration, a sign that says: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Sadie does.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
I am glad to hear she is sharing those free vegetables.
Hi, Frank, I’m glad to see one of your comments come through. This is the first I have received in a while. I do get your likes. And I’m glad you approve of Sadie’s generosity.
A simple motto that means an awful lot.
Yes, the world would be much better if many people lived by that principle. Thanks, Iain.
Well done Sadie. It looks like she found Calico Jack’s casket. I like the kindness you had shown at the end of the story.
Maybe that’s where the treasure was. News reports often show that instant big money winners blow it. No Sadie. Thanks for the comment.
I like the sound of Sadie!
We would be blessed by more like her. Thanks, Keith, for reading and commenting.
I’m glad the money didn’t change her 🙂
It doesn’t change the heart of people; it just changes their ability to act and look different. I’m glad Sadie remained herself. Thanks, draliman, for the comment. I’ll look for you next FF. 😀
It’s very nice Sadie used the money to help those in need. A hopeful and encouraging story, Oneta. May we all love our neighbors so well!
I’ll tell Sadie you have been complimentary to her. 😀
Sadie’s a lovely character. The world needs more like her.
I’m glad you like Sadie. I might have to drop by and see what is happening with her on a future FF. 😀
Oh her love shows in her produce! Nicely written.
Thank you. I’m just thinking about how many of us aspire to be like Sadie, but we just keep procrastinating. We think “I can be more generous as soon as I get this bill paid off.” The principles in the Bible pretty much teach us to give first. That’s hard to do. Blessings to you on this Memorial Day.
Oneta. I love this simple story with a complicated message. Why complicated? Because we have to sort through all our human reasons for why we CAN’T.
So many have good intentions but just do not get around to doing anything about the nudges the Lord gives them to good deeds. Thanks for adding your comment.
If only we lived by what that signs says, this world would be a much different place. Inspiring story, Oneta.
