We had lovely weather here yesterday. It was so warm, with a bit of wind mixed in, but the wind felt good. Our yard sale went pretty well. We got rid of a LOT of stuff. We only totalled around $55.00 for everything we sold, but it was great just watching people take it away. I was wheelin' and dealin' like crazy. Telling people, "Here, you need this to go with that - no charge"! I think all the customers were happy. Tom told them all as they were leaving that they were making him happy by just taking all of our 'junk' away. We had a nice visit with our neighbor, Donna, during the sale - she stayed and kept us company. She's also Winston's bus driver, so Winston enjoyed having her here also.
Preston starts his summer job tomorrow. He will be working in the greenhouses at the college. They said they could give him 40 hours a week and he can work the same hours as Tom. He can ride with his Dad and save the gas money. It's a great opportunity for him. The only unfortunate part of it is that he won't be able to go on vacation with us (boo-hoo) but he will be here to watch the animals while we're gone. Keaton also has a possible job opportunity when school is out. Don't know exactly how that will impact his summer vacation yet.
In other news... we have 19 days until Summer Vacation! Also, Tom has lost almost 20 pounds on his low-carb diet! I'm so happy for him! I'm trying, too, but have only been able to lose 6 pounds, then gain 3 back. Guys lose weight so much easier than women. It's really not fair.
We saw our chicken hunter again the other day. It's a large very dark-coated coyote - I almost thought he was a wolf. He was sitting up on the hill next to the barn watching our place. He wasn't very afraid of us when we opened a window and started yelling at him. Finally, after we waived our hands a lot and yelled and hooted at him, he got up and walked away through the woods. He certainly wasn't in any hurry. We still have three chickens, and thought about getting some more chicks this spring but decided not to. Maybe next year.
Well, that's about it for now.
