backyard friends

We have a big yard with many trees. We have this year a pair of chicadees that decided to make their home in one of our many bird houses. They are working hard to keep them fed. I was lucky enough to get this picture this AM.

Auction

Well the store auction was the 13th. We attended until 2:00 and had to leave as my back was giving me fits. I cried a lot when things sold for too little. Oh well it is over and done. The auctioneer called me at 7:20 and said he just ended. WOW it started at 10:00. When we found out the total we were pleased. I plan on putting on the pictures of the room filled with the stuff.

Many of our friends were surprised that we attended the auction. So what did I do on Sunday but drive across the state for an auction that had some great fiesta. The bonus is I got to visit with Chuck and his wife. There were some good things there. Check out the hunt of fiesta blog to see the good stuff.

Counting down

Hate to say it but I am finally excited about summer coming. Friday is my last day of this school year. The first three weeks of the break will be getting ready for the big auction of the business on June 13th. I have to box up the shop and the one mall we are in. The auctioneer will be doing the actually picking up of the boxes as I can't lift anything that heavy.

Will have to get a whole lot of banana boxes for doing this.

Keep posted

Our Newest Antique

We finished cleaning up the country site and brought home our newest addition to the antiques. This is an very old hitching post. You tied up your horse and then used the steps to get on. This thing weighs a ton. It took a large backhoe to bring it into the yard.

Jane the Farmer

With my bum back and not being able to do much Jane has been a great help with my yard work. We went out to Dad's to get his tiller. She ran the thing and did a great job. This last weekend we planted our tomatoes. Now we get plant okra, lots of zinnias, basil sweet and thai, and some squash. Jane and I love fried squash blossoms. YUM.

New Blog

Jane and I thought it would be fun to do a blog about our search for Fiesta. Check it out.

Thanks

Busy

Thought I better blog something. Jane and I have been very busy. The contractor is finished clearing the property we own. This is the place where my father grew up. The place was so rundown and falling down so it was time to get it done. Well the acres is finished and we are not real happy with the job but we so much rain in the last 2 weeks the place was so wet and now we have large clots of dirt.

Then the kitchen should be started in about 2 weeks. The money is getting spent like we have it. I guess it is American to help simulate the economy. Will post some pictures when we get the new notebook up and going as the old one's card reader is not working so no pictures can be uploaded.

Also the property thing the people next door are getting upset as the contractors dozier tore up some thier property. Now we are having to deal with that. I guess I need to contact the contractor and bitch.

Oh well school is about over.

I have been trying to do something with facebook so take a look.

My back is better and not so much pain. This is a good thing but I am really trying not to lift and do much of anything.

Later
Andy and Jane
