News Herald Plant Exchange....Southgate

Beautiful weather! Not like last year when we had sleet and snow. We were patient, waiting for the Krispy Kreme donuts to arrive. We were there really early--- to get a good parking spot. Everyone crowds around looking to trade for something different. Barb had lots of give-aways, Stella D'Oros and Irises. We brought home some new plants to try if we can find a vacant spot.

You meet lots of nice people who like to talk. Since I talk funny, everyone wants to know where I am from. The gentleman holding the USPS box has relatives in Paducah and loves Starnes Bar-be-que. That made us fast friends and he had an interesting story about an uncle (age 86) who now lives in Texas and orders Starnes Bar-be-que from Paducah to sell at his stand. Turns out, Texans love Starnes too.

And WHO HAS THE REAL HAIR????? We asked this gentleman for a photo with Barb...

And, Hats Off, Barb is the winner. It was nice of him to join in the fun. I have noticed that no one seems to be bashful at the plant exchange.

I hope your Saturday was as much fun. The next exchange will be in October.

I loved her little blue wagon, would have liked to trade for that......
This gentleman knew a lot about plants, he always had a crowd around.....
All persons photographed bending over shall be nameless.........
Lastly, the two crazy ladies with their doughnuts and plants. In case you don't know me I'm the one in the ugly pea-green coat that I wear everywhere. My friend Barbara's face was frozen but she managed to join me in a Krispy Kreme.
