Unexpected gifts

We had a small chat here and said we'd stop for a visit on our way back up the mountain. She gave us beautiful flowers from bushes. Little did I know how much of a heart connection I would make with this lady later in the day!
Her son, who had visited with us up the mountain, passed out the flowers.
We travelled down the mountain more and stopped for lunch. The young man that passed out the flowers popped up again...we weren't sure if he was wanting to practice his English (he wasn't bad!), or was just curious, but he spent quite a bit of time with us this day. The two pretty young girls on our team probably didn't hurt either!
He told us more about the valley. Electricity had just come to this part of the mountain a year ago. I can not imagine how they got the huge heavy poles and wires down the mountain and in place...truly amazing. He really wanted to show us the puppies, but it was decided we didn't have time to go that far down the mountain. After lunch, we headed back to his house for a visit.
