Saturday was a first for me. I attended my first farm auction!!! It was a wonderful mix of livestock, hay, tools, and odds and ends. Unfortunatly I had a graduation in the afternoon so I wasn't able to see all of the auction but I plan to go back next weekend! I came home with a set of 3 old shutters for decoration in the garden and some baseball card sleeve pages for my kids to organize their bella sara cards. I also came home with an understanding to drive the truck next weekend as a compact car does not transport shutters very comfortably. :) And it prevented me from picking up a large set of shelves to hold my canning for $.50 !!
Next weekend should also see the arrival of strawberries in our area. Everyone is excited and ready for the annual strawberry day, though I have my reservations! I never get excited until the day is over and all the jam and jelly is resting on the dinning room table, and I'm resting in the chair with a nice book and aching feet! :) Every year I make more and more jars and it seems we still never have enough! In our house mom's homeade jelly is quite the commodity.
I've been sorely slacking in my updates as of late. I'm attributing it to a round of the flu which ransaked my home here. I can't seem to recall such a long drawn out season for colds and flu's in many years! Here's to hoping this is just an exception rather than an upcoming trend!
Many blessings to you and yours :)
