Garage or Yard Sales

Well, my friend Caryn and I had our last Artist's Date
since she is leaving soon for her permanent home.
Snow birds eventually do fly north when it gets warmer.
We are now at 75-80+ degrees, perfect outside weather.

So we went to some local garage or yard sales to shop
for stuff you really don't need, but want-cause it's so cheap.
I bought a big antique jug to decorate my yard with,
a gravy pitcher for Sunday dinners, and other have to haves.

Caryn is the expert shopper as she goes regularly year
round looking for bargains or fun stuff for home decor.
We mostly enjoyed the searching for signs and talking
along the way as we hunted for second hand treasures.

Then of course, it was time for lunch so we headed to a new place
where their sandwiches are big enough for two to share.
Loaded with tasty pulled pork, onions, tomatoes and avocados,
we enjoyed a picnic sitting outside in our springtime weather.

Thanks for a wonderful winter full of friendship and love,
have a great summer at home tending to your flowers, dear Caryn.

  5. That sandwich looks awfully good.

    I believe in New England garage/yard sales are called 'tag sales.'

    I don't have the luxury of indulging in those anymore. As an apartment dweller the last thing I need is more 'stuff'.
