I worked in the yard all afternoon. Very pleasant!!

Puttering at projects.

It breaks my heart to watch my garden treasures leave my yard.

Residents are protesting but
“the little guy” doesn’t get very
far against “big business.”

My jacket came off before 10:30. “T-shirt” weather. All morning in the yard. First: A fire in the burn barrel (and I stood guard with the garden hose). I “blew” the leaves off patio, carport, and driveway. ~~ Visitors all afternoon (but no sales). Really, really enjoyable conversations!!!!

Here’s a “funny ha-ha”: I thought I avoided confusion when I put “Bottle”  in quotation marks and indicated “hundreds of decorative bottles.”  However, a customer arrived (yesterday) looking for the Bottlebrush shrub. The couple was a God-sent blessing!! Extremely valuable information shared with me and I’ll share with the reader at a later date.

10:30: Lots of “lookers”; I haven’t received enough money to pay for the advertisement.

Armloads of free stuff leaving my yard. Second day of the sale and I haven’t earned enough to pay for the ad. I speculate that the local Habitat for Humanity resale store will be the recipient of a truckload of stuff. “A truckload of stuff”  if they come and pick it up. I have no way of delivering “big and heavy” to them. ~~ Today, I have enjoyed interesting conversations with many visitors. ~~ Today, I moved “my hardware store” of miscellaneous to the yard sale area: Nails, screws, zip ties, wire, twine, duct tape, etc., etc. I’m praying for the day when I am “maintenance-free.”

“Ready or not, here I come.”  Remember that statement when we played Hide & Seek?? “Ready or not” I’ll be outdoors to greet customers.

First sale, $7.00, before eight.

Another $5.00, before ten (small stuff). Hey, I want the big, tall, heavy, bulky stuff to find a new home!!
