It was clearing the poison ivy from our borders day. I cut all the stuff growing through the fence, and Kelli was digging up all that had taken root in the bed.
We had a late start to the day, mainly because it was Friday.
I had stuff to spray on the grass, Kelli finished painting the two unit cabinet.
Larry was having a second yard sale, so people were turning up at various times.
He then gets into his truck and drives off, only to return a few minutes later. We hypothesise that he’s getting change, paying a drug dealer or repaying a dept. Whatever it is he must be spending any profit he’s making on petrol.
Kelli is so curious that she threatened to ask him.
We made a trip to Kelli’s mum to collect another large dresser that had been stored since last autumn, a heavy bugger with a dark finish and laminate top. The body looked like it had been attacked by hordes of cats covering the every surface.
I pull the three drawers from another dresser that I knew, at least one had been chewed by squirrels. This will need a total replacement.
We managed a bike ride along Southshore drive to buy some fresh eggs from a house that has a box outside. The house is set back from the road and has always be one of Kelli’s favourite. The lady who owns it has seventeen chickens on the one acre plot behind the house, so we will make this a regular stop for our fresh supplies in future.
