Nice dark yellow yolks. Very tasty.

Found a good flea market next to the Indian Mound in Florence, Alabama. Happens every Tuesday morning.

I liked this sign for $10

Bob Ross look a likes for $5 each

Peach Man with a Waffle House Hat.

The weirdest thing was all these old men were walking around with shotguns.  I guess they sell them this way.  Mobile booth!

Main drag

I heard John Henry’s smoke detector going off the other day and come to find out that he was boiling some wooly mullein leaves in a pot to wash his feet with! I guess the smoke detector had never sensed such a smell as that before . Anyway he said his mama , who was a midwife , used wooly mullein for all kinds of treatments back then.

Anyway when i was rambling in Tuscumbia, Alabama the other day I came across a hardware store that bought roots and leaves from “Diggers” in the area. They said that the town had a whole community of root diggers that make their living just from collecting wild plants.

Stacks of dried and cured wooly mullein leaves.

 

The store also sells seeds of all sorts displayed in these cool old bins.

 

Sells cool pocket knives too.

And has some weird taxidermy . Like this Golden Eagle.

Beth plant said to cure women problems.

This mullein plant is growing in my  garden.

More mullein facts here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus

Stopped by to see Ol’ Hank the other day .

Up on the big hill in Montgomery.

People leave all kinds of stuff on his grave. Flowers, bottles of whiskey, notes.

I didn’t leave nothing but my shadow.

Pulled this out of an old traffic light that i found on the side of the road. The government road folks are replacing all the old glass ones like this with “new and improved” plastic ones. I think it’s from back in the 50′s.
