Can't Last Forever

The beautiful days that we have been having here in PA are what can't last forever. So, this morning (late morning I should say) after I returned from the grocery store, outside I went. I decided to run the lawnmower one more time, actually to run the gas out before its stored for the Winter. But, before I could do that I needed to move all the garden art. Benches, boxes, wagons, you name it, it's out there. Someone should keep an eye out on me when I'm at a auction, way too much "stuff" comes home with me. LOL!! So, after running the lawnmower out of gas, which happened to be right in the middle of the front lawn I needed to fill it with some more gas, but I was smart and only added a small amount. It is amazing though how far a little bit of gas goes. But, the lawn is mowed and "stuff" is piled in the rear of the yard waiting to be put away. And I feel good, weather is beautiful outside, and I was able to get things done. And besides I didn't want to do all the tasks waiting for me inside!!

If it's Tuesday, It Must Be Auction Day

That's where we were today, at a auction. Tuesday's are my day off and we attend a auction just about every Tuesday to replenish our stock for Black Duck Antiques. We got some neat stuff, a couple of benches (for those of you who have front/back porches), a primitive garden sieve, a make do medicine cabinet (needs a good cleaning) some advertising tins (tea, soap, etc) a piece of Wedgewood, which is not something I normally buy, but for some reason I can sell a piece here and there. Today's piece cost $3.00, can't go wrong there. And my favorite from today's haul are 12 pieces of handmade (in Germany) winter ornaments. They are made out of some type metal (heavier then tin) and painted. There are trees, sleds with horses, a few people and a snowman. The set will most likely go to one of our shows next year. Oh yeah and a pantry box, which has been repaired, but it's got some age to it and I will most likely keep that for my self. Well, its been a long day of sitting and we may head to another auction tomorrow, but we will need to see what the weather will bring, our weather weenies are calling for another 1-3 inches of snow before turning to rain!! We will see. Have a good evening
