So we know about free libraries. These are where you leave books for your neighbors to take and they leave books for you to take.

And they’re also seed libraries. I’ve seen those where where people leave seeds, local native seeds.

Yeah, there’s one in my neighborhood. its It’s lovely. It’s all California native seeds that you can plant in your yard or your garden.

And there’s a name that I came across for another box of this sort. The boxes where you leave canned goods for people in need are sometimes now called blessing boxes.

Oh, no kidding. Blessing box.

Yeah, I think that’s a good term for it. If you’re blessed with good fortune, you share some of that good fortune with your neighbors or other people who are passing by and don’t have what you have.

A blessing box.

What a cool term.

Yeah.

Blessing box.

Well, we invite you to leave a little something for us in our email box, words@waywordradio.org.
