Saunda

On the morning of the afternoon we photographed Saunda, she made this FB post: “Well no Run for the Roses today but there’s a Run for the free plants and veggies curbside giveaway today starting now. Inbox me for the address and phone # I have two small spider starter plants, chicken and hens plants, a few spring onions, garlic, and some veggie seed packages. You stay in your car and blow (Or walk and give me a holler) I will bring the goodies on a little table (I’m masked and plastic gloved up) then you can get out and get them when I move back. Hope to see ya! We can also talk gardening.”
So that afternoon we stopped by and got three chicken-and-hen plants, a handful of chocolate mint to stick in the ground, and two green onions. Thank you, Saunda! (Of course, we also talked gardening. And took Saunda’s picture outside her home.)
