Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 29
12th April 2020
When we moved into the house just under a year ago we inherited a shack of old paint pots. We kept them, not sure why, but today Kelli decided, deep in a pandemic, to get rid of them.
I opened each one, stirring them well to get the correct colour, and marking them on the lid.
There were a pile of stuff we couldn’t sell, or lost patience with, so that was piled up at the side of the road.
Kelli took some pictures and posted them on Facebook, within seconds of it going live her phone went crazy. It was pinging almost constantly, and her fingers were busy answering queries. Soon a car would arrive and things would start to disappear, within a short time, items were set aside with peoples names attached.
One guy drove from Grand Rapids for a tin of white paint, this was the draw of free stuff.
We also were attracted by the offer of free perennials in Saugatuck. Armed with our face masks we drove down to meet the lady who gave us a box of mixed plants, these will help to bring some colour to our freshly dug mud.
