Fall Veggies

We are having some warm weather here in the Lehigh Valley (PA) and my neighbor stopped over yesterday to give us some of the bounty that he had collected from his garden. The tomatoes & sweet peppers are from our garden, the rest was from the neighbors. I took the picture with my new Blackberry, I just love that phone!! Hope everyone is have a great evening.

What Will The Room Become

Many of you know that Les & I have a antiques business. Most (and I do mean most) of our inventory is stored on our property. Two sheds and inside of our house. In our home we have what I'm guessing would be called a Living Room. It has a door to the outside (our front yard) a large window facing our front yard, two side windows that look out onto our Mud Porch, a doorway to the Kitchen, Family Room and my home office. The stairs also come down into this room and there is a door to a very, very small closet (original bathroom). This is the room where the pieces of furniture that go to shows with us get deposited. This room also has my 45" loom in it, spinning wheels (one is for sale), etc. We have never used this room as a LR and now we are think that we should set it up more like a Antique Shop. The idea is growing on me. When I can I will post before and after pictures. Stay Tuned.

Getting The Ducks Ready For Winter

With the beautiful weather we are having today I decided it was time to clean out the duck pens. So, early this morning "The Girls" went outside. They are slightly younger then the boys and can get around quite good. DD aka Danger Duck has been lame for quite sometime now and I decided that he and our other boy would not venture out. The pens were not that bad, considering they have not been cleaned out for quite sometime. It's not a easy task when you are trying to clean around two ducks who need to see what you are doing. But, they are all done and fresh straw is now in place. This will probably the last time they will get cleaned out this year, but when the ducks don't go out every day and don't eat or drink in the pens, they really stay quite clean. There was a time when I had my dozen or so ducks that the pens were cleaned every weekend!! But no more, I have learned alot since those days. My fun will begin in a little while when I try and get the girls back in. But for now they are enjoying their pond and just maybe they will wear themselves out and want to head in to the Duck Hilton tonite. I have posted a new header picture, Fall at Ginnysyard. Enjoy your day!!

Happy Fall Everyone

But, it was more like Summer today. Low 80's and a bit humid, tomorrow should be more humid!! Then we are back to more seasonable temps for the weekend. Les and I have been quite busy with our Antique Shows and going to auctions, flea markets and yard sales to re-stock. We have had some really good shows all Spring & Summer and the Fall looks to be just as promising. On Saturday we are heading back to the town we grew-up in, Metuchen, NJ. There is a rummage sale that we are told we should not miss and then the whole town is having a town wide Yard Sale!! Sounds like fun. We may even meet up with my sister and have lunch. This is just a short post, but I hope to get back in to the swing of blogging again real soon. Enjoy your weekend. P.S. My calendar tells me it is a Full Harvest Moon tonite, I gotta go see if is out, it was pretty cloudy before.

Our Next Antique Show

Thank goodness we didn't have any shows in July, I'm not sure how we would have made it in all the heat and humidity we had. But, now we are on to August and we have shows coming up. two this month then one every month thru November. Here is the info for our next Show;

Homemade Food available all day. $6.00 addmission, $5.00 with ad card. Send me a e-mail @ duckslady@gmail.com and we will get you a ad card if you are interested in coming. This benefit the Hunterdon Helpline. Les and I shopped this show before moving to PA, we always found something, hope you do as well if you come.

So Long July...I will miss you.

Oh not the heat and humidity that we experienced here is PA, but all the memories that were made this month. We started out with a "Friends Reunion" on the 10th of July back in the town of Metuchen. NJ where Les & I both grew up. This reunion was a group of the people that we went to high school with or friends that we made when we were out of school. We had people come from Wisconsin, Colorado, Maine, Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. It took place in Metuchen at a very special couples home. Plenty of good friends, good food, good times. Our friend from Colorado came and stayed at our house for a couple of days, so there were more memories made. Then today we had childhood friends of Les' that he went to grammer school and beyond with, along with their Mom, who was very good friends with Les' parents. We had a good visit here at the house, then lunch at the local diner and onto showing them the sites of Hellertown and Bethlehem. So........that's why we will miss July. Our only hope is that we all can get together again and share this month's memories and make some more.
