Sunday Morning Sighting

I recently had a Yard Sale. I made about $40. Not bad, but interestingly enough while I was trying to sell my wares early on Sunday morning, this sight trotted by:

Now, if you must ask if I live in Amish town, the answer is no. I was quite surprised and I had my camera nearby to capture the moment - though it was moving much faster than I thought these kinds of things move.

I do not know where it came from nor where it was going ... see what happens on the streets when we are sleeping in ...

Yard Sale

So my neighborhood hosted a Yard Sale this weekend- both Saturday and Sunday. Yard Sales can be awesome.

My mind set was put it out and price it so that you don't have to bring it back in. With that in mind I set the price of everything @ $1. That's right. Even though I had signs posted saying 'everything $1', some of the onlookers were still a bit perplexed. I had shoes, boots, clothing and cards. Yes, my dear handmade greeting cards. One customer bought $15 worth of cards.

Did I tell you that it was 90 degrees. Right, slowed the foot traffic down a bit. I set up by about 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and was packing it up by 1:30 p.m. Then on Sunday, I got out @ 9 a.m., but by 11:15 a.m. I was on my way to pick up breakfast w/some of the $40 I'd made. Lucky me, eh?
