What A Bust

You can say that again! We spend the last eight days, more or less, setting up for a big rummage sale with results that could be termed "less than satisfactory".
Here it is May and the first day of the sale saw heavy rain, high winds and temps in the low 50's. The weather prognosticators even attached a wind chill that day because it was so ugly.
The second day of the sale saw even fewer people. We woke up to no rain but winds and 38 degrees. I think we had a grand total of 6 customers.




We are going to leave all the stuff set up in the garage and workshop and hold another sale in a few weeks.
This next weekend we hope to take the camper out. Then the next two weekends will be on our trip out East. We are really looking forward to the time away.
The wind has died down a bit now so we are going to get the landscaping beds cleaned out for another season. This can be a four day project or a two day project. It just depends on the direction of the wind the last few days. If the wind helps clear out the beds I am all for it!

That is all for now. Tune in again for another edition of " Now What Are They Doing".

Oh man, thats a bummer! The weather this weekend has been pretty awful so far. Cold, rainy, not exactly garage sale weather.

Today looks pretty good. We are going to get the camper ready for next weekend. One of these days we are going to have to get the blower off the tractor and the mower deck put on. Yesterday I put new blades on the deck.
