Rain, rain, rain

start praying it starts landing in this neighborhood --- less than an inch in may and well it's clouding up as i type ......

just can't happen soon enough

moved the tomato's and peppers down to the little garden this morning so they could get in on the "irrigation system" --- also did a bit of tree prunning -- wrong time of year but it was getting a little shaggy around here . . . really opened things up -- my dead pussy willow is now leveled -- saved the lilac before the chainsaw operator got to close -- not sure why but that man hates lilacs --

i even mowed lawn on 3rd street -- and got the leftover treasures hauled to the garage at the office so I have my garage at home free at last ....

i should go wash the car -- bet that would make it rain!!!!

happy sunday

Sale Day (treasures)

well, sale day came and went, it was quiet and that's okay. a hundred here a hundred there -- now i know what's where and can start working on the ebay / craigslist selling, depending on how that goes ---

i may try a booth at the flea market when it comes to town -- if i need peddlers permit i'll be skipping it -- i already have all the other pertainent #'s and stuff

jane was the lucky winner of the pyrex mixing bowls -- a nesting set of 4 in really good shape -- we expect great cakes and hotdishes from her !!!!


ah well, win some lose some, but always learning more

more treasures

the last of the pix -- we have 25 tubs, boxes and bushel baskets of stuff ..... no clothes, rugs or bedding (too smelly) --- a little bit of jewelry -- just a couple of pieces, no handbags -- 6 stoneware bowls like below only bigger and all slate brown...

Estate Sale Treasures

okay saturday 8:00 to noon at Jean's Stamping House is the big sale -- this is a sampling of the treasures before mom went to work and cleaned them all up nice and spiffy -- there are at least 4 sets of pyrex mixing bowls -- the nesting colored ones --- a lot of red/white enamelware, mixed cut glass bowls, some misc pyrex bakingware ... no silverware and only one set of dishes -- Franciscan Desert Rose stoneware -- an 8 place setting set...with some serving pieces....

the house is now totally empty and dad/nick and i finished the garage tonight -- there were boxes and boxes of cookbooks but they smelled way to musty to keep....

Nick (the cat) and the Mouse (the really deal)

So, I walk in and Nick, did his job!

Yesterday, Joy and I had an attitude adjustment moment and drove out to Earthworks Gardens to see the iris.....it's cool! Of course it was windy, bustery and trying to rain -- but I'll go back sometime this week and make some selections!

I planted the tomato's, peppers and eggplants and zuchini last night -- hopefully another row of watermelon tonight and then it's on to the famous estate sale. And another two hours of cleaning at the infamous trailer house project.

Attitude Adjustment

this Diva really needs it

Back to work .... short week, gotta love it

so back to work, thank goodness. less work at work than at home!

i did manage to get the canteloupe and weird stuff planted over the weekend. i even hoe'd a bit will hoe some more tonight, the pumpkins and squash are coming up nicely, can't wait for the blooms --- huge yellow blossoms that dance in the breeze -- and buzz with the sound of the bees.

mom/dad planted the balance of the little garden -- and immediately set up the sprinkler system.

we managed to fill dumpster #1 on our trailerhouse project. lots of labor and lots of trash. not a lot of treasures but will attempt to document some of them before they get sold. all of them are washed and packed up for the "estate" sale on Saturday -- details to follow later in the week.

so it flows
