Happy Mother’s Day
… and it IS indeed. What a beautiful day for the annual community yard sale at Dunster. Everyone is invited to bring a table with stuff to sell, and selling is FREE. There were dozens of “vendors” and hundreds of visitors, many who were in a great buying mood.
It was well worth participating in the yard sale. I promoted my “real” perennial plant sale (happening May 13 and 14), and sold many many plants. I always have so much fun visiting: Dunster is where I lived with first hubby and we raised our girls on the farm.
After the yard sale, I went out to the Seventh Day Adventist School Plant Sale: they sell annual bedding plants. I didn’t spend “all” the profits from MY plant sales. There I saw some MORE people who I hadn’t seen all winter and had another couple of good visits. I bought zucchini (because I hadn’t started any YELLOW varieties, and flowers, and tomatoes.
So now I’m home again and in need of a nap. Well, it IS Mother’s Day, isn’t it? For dinner we’re going to get “take out” food from the Greek place; we both like the food at that restaurant and prefer eating at home. I also rented “Ocean’s Twelve” DVD.
Last night after I should have been in bed, I put on a VCR tape that I bought for 50ยข at a garage sale Saturday. It was “Black Like Me”, with James Whitmore, from 1964. At some point, decades ago, I read that book, and it was like the movie: disturbing, poignant, and well done.
Phoned Myrtle for Mother’s Day, but I should have also sent a card & flowers. Her birthday’s in June, so perhaps I can make up for it. I’ve heard from my three daughters today: they are such special human beings, and MY FRIENDS too. I love them so much.
I was given a calico cat on Thursday. Yesterday, that cat had four beautiful kittens: a calico, two white or cream ones, and a black & white one. The cat is a good little mother, but I plan to have her spayed.
If I can find time soon, I’ll post a picture of the cat, the big community yard sale, and more.
Thanks to all who read this weblog. Happy Mother’s Day , or have just a great day anyway.~ Ann
