We began what we shall call the "big gather" for the May Barn Sale this past Saturday...here is our pick by the numbers:
- 1 -- first trailer full of finds arrives at the farm for the sale
- 2 -- number of falls I took climbing snowy mounds to fill trailer
- 3 -- bruises from above mentioned falls (smile)
- 4 -- outbuildings we climbed thru to fill trailer
- 5 -- hours spent on a chilly Saturday picking thru outbuildings
- 6 -- number of bungee cords it took to secure our load of finds
- 7 -- hours it took to thaw out after quest...jaw so frozen, couldn't talk
- 8 -- at least that many very cool galvanized watering cans & pails found
- 9 -- minimum times we stopped to pinch ourselves as we picked -- wow!
- 10 - size of stack of old bikes I am sure I was standing on at one point
- 11 - wooden tables, farm chairs, ice cream buckets AND letters found
- 12 - May 12, 2012...Meadowview Farm Barn Sale door opens at 9:00
- 13 - May 13, 2012...hayloft of our 100+ year old barn opens at 12:00

There is a chance that this may indeed be the last spring Barn Sale...we are considering hosting just one sale a year in October. So hard to gather in the winter months...will keep you posted...

I see a road trip in my furture! I can't wait until fall! OLM
Kari it's not nice to tease us this way....May seems a long way off. 3-1/2 months of wondering and waiting. It's just cruel. :)
