[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 530122, member: 2211"] Oh, these are great! I have one. Yesterday was my first time doing REAL yard work in two years, I'm talking hard and sweaty, but oh so satisfying at the end of the day. Midday I ran to walmart for some soil for the gardens I was making. While standing in line I spotted this woman eyeing the hostas. After a while, she stood behind me in line. I was a bit nervous to ask her because you just never know how some people will respond, but I asked her, "are you interested in hostas?" and she said yes but that she didn't want to buy them. I then told her, "I have some I'd like to get rid of but I hate just throwing them onto the compost heap. If you want them they are yours, but you have to dig them out because I can't", and her whole face lit up. She stuck out her hand and introduced herself, asked where I lived and said she would be over in an hour. I helped her load ten of them into her car (these will create 40 plants after she divides them!) and it occurred to me that I have never ever paid for a hosta plant...I was paying it forward! I got all my hostas from my neighbor and have just divided them up over the years...I have at least 100 of them around my yard. Made me feel so good to help her out and she helped me out by clearing them away so I could see my stone wall again! Before she left, she handed me a bag of marigold seeds! It was the coolest exchange ever! easy child was once again shocked at how I make friends with perfect strangers, lol. Maybe not as heartwarming as the donut and the sweet little girl, but this made my day! [/QUOTE]
