Carrots used to be purple, not orange.

Purple carrots used to be grown in the Middle East and the Far East, as early as 1,000 years ago. The Dutch introduced orange carrots in the 16th century. Purple carrots have become rare because intensive breeding has made the orange carrot more widespread.

*** Random KGMH Story ***


On Valentines' Day, I was at a flower shop.

A little boy walked up to the counter and asked to buy a red rose. Then the little boy opened his own little wallet and paid for it. I heard him say on the way out. 'Hurry before the graveyard closes, grandma waiting'.

His love to passed people gives me hope.
