Well the ads for the big moving-yard sale are published. I received an email Tuesday that my 26-foot rental truck reservation was confirmed. The house in Georgia will have it's lender appraisal this week. Monday my buyers will do their inspection. My daughter's braces will be removed in two weeks. I have a big stack of not-yet-assembled boxes. I've purged most every shelf, every drawer, every closet, every nook, every cranny of this house. About 100-square feet of floor space is devoted to yard sale merchandise boxed up and ready to sell.
I despise yardsales. Luckily for me, my daughter and Chief Farmhand, Chris did all the heavy lifting (literally) and most of the work for this sale. (Because I hate them. Vehemently. And they know and respect this.) We made less than eighty bucks and then Chris made two trips to Goodwill. :( Ho-hum. At least it's $80 more than we had, two tax deduction receipts, and got rid of a whole bunch of stuff we didn't want. So you may call that something. As for me, I still hate yardsales and I am never doing one again. Ridiculous.
But in other news....This week we've been harvesting and eating carrots, celery, green beans, and cucumbers! Still getting lots of fresh herbs and picking and drying the great northern beans as they wither on the vines. I pulled all the beets that remained in the Back 40 and pickled two quarts. I also made a small batch of refrigerator pickles.I made a hair rinse tea from chamomile flowers and lemon balm leaves. The cooled tea smelled beautiful and seemed to have brought out the blond highlights in my hair! I am rooting several swatches of my herbs so that I can take my herb garden with me to Georgia...
