Yard Sales=getting to visit with your neighbors, finding treasures and getting exercise!

The 5 of us (we brought the dog) set off on foot to check out some near to us Yard Sales. Josiah picked out a Family Circus Book and Tirzah found a really funky cool houseplant called a Jade plant. I got a nicely shaped terracotta pot and a small clump of a perennial called Sweet Woodruff. I also got some salt and pepper shakers. I am using the glass bottles as vases for small sprigs of flowers, like Lily of the Valley. It looks beautiful in all the different, tiny shaped bottles and now the house smells so good!

While we were out and about, we met a neighbor that had a job offer for Josiah. She has asked him to deal with all her weeds that are growing on her lawn. She has this handy tool that you poke into the ground, give it a twist and pop! -Out comes the weed. Now, Josiah is waiting for a rainy day so he can do the job the "day after", when the ground is nice and soft.
