Soon we will be a long way from our local reservoir walk, so we took it again today while we can! The water is maybe 5ft down, but still quite full for this time of year …
There is an access road right around the reservoir, but now it’s blocked at one spot by water from a flooded pond – Beaver dammed, I think; elsewhere, there’s evidence of trees brought down by Beavers:
Took a few pictures of our back garden at 42, this morning, after overnight rain …
We’ve lived in the same home in Gloucester for almost 17 years, and there’s lot of stuff we have that we don’t really need – moving to Florida and paying per pound for what gets moved is a great incentive to dispose of everything we don’t really need! So it’s yard sale time!
Quite a few large furniture pieces that we don’t need to take to Florida, and all sort of other items (kitchen equipment, unwanted CDs / DVDs, games and jigsaws we’ve never used, basement shelving too heavy to take to Florida; even the old “lawn mower shed” (though we are taking the mower!):
In total about three hours of set up last night and this morning, a four hour yard sale, and most stuff is gone. Lots of the furniture went next door one side or the other, and most of the rest headed off in cars … we are left with an assortment of items that will go to Second Glance (our local thrift store that fundraises for The Open Door), a small collection of “free, take it” stuff on the front lawn, and some unwanted shelving that already a local metal dealer has taken most of. And some kept back stuff that people will hopefully be returning to buy …
For those that want to know, the day raised somewhere between $320 and $400, depending if the promised last buyers return! Quite successful, though the main purpose was getting rid of things …
