Chuck's been working hard.
He's been plowing up the earth with hand tools in preparation for vegetable planting.
Charley helped out as well.
I helped too.
Ok so whatever. I was really just popping little cute dirt wads
out of the ground with my new...uhhhh...hole maker.
Which leads me to....
Last Saturday morning I noticed that there were lots and lots of cars pulling into my neighbor's driveway and parking along the road. I had my fingers crossed it was a yard sale, but it was hard to tell because I could only see a few random things in her backyard. Charley and I excitedly ran from window to window trying to decide if this was a bona fide yard sale or if it was something else. I mean NOBODY wants to walk up on a death in the family situation with a bunch of spending money in hand. Finally, we determined it was an indoor-everything-goes yard sale!!
Those are the best kind.
We'd go next door, buy and yard tool, and run back over here to test it out.
Then we'd run back over and do it again.
It doesn't take much to entertain us.
We didn't spend much,
but we did walk away with a grill and 4-5 yard tools for $5.00.
Cheap is good.
Well, usually.
My neighbor GAVE me those rubber boots.
Free is even better than cheap.
And yeah, when I am walking around the yard and my neighbor is over there doing around in her yard, I feel a little funny wearing the woman's boots,
but I'll get over it.
After working in the yard a while, I told Chuck I want to be Amish,
only with internet access.
He doesn't have a lot of faith in that idea, and I'd have to cook....soooooo
Nah. I think I'd rather be a rich person.

You know what Hayley? You and I? We're TOTES on the same wavelength. Cooking? A wha? Thrifting? YES. Yard Sales? Awesome. Free boots? YAY.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be rich too. In fact, I think my goal is to marry one. ;)
I'm excited to see all the veggies you grow!
