Yard sales...35º

Yard sales advertised in the paper this week, one yesterday and a couple today...Seems hardly worth the effort but it gives me a break from the yard work and one never knows what bargains lurk out there...NONE yesterday, maybe today.

Beet pickles were made yesterday morning...An oven dinner simmered while Herb again loaded chips and I unloaded them...The back corner of the flowerbed is being rearranged with Joe pye weed dug up and moved and today Herb will dig up the Golden Glow, divide it and replant it back in the corner of the fence where we hope to contain it and keep it more upright...Golden Glow is a tall daisy like flower from the rudbeckia family...It blooms profusely and needs support...Commonly called "Outhouse Plant" because in the 'olden days' it was planted near the outhouse to screen it from view...When my Mom moved from Utah to Oregon she brought a start of this plant with her...Now I have it growing in several spot around our property....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
