Saturday was my busy day. I was working at a town wide Yard Sale for my Ladies Club. We had the premier spot, and tables laden with really great buys.
The day started with a light fog, and heavy dew on the grass, but as the morning wore on, the skies became dotted with something that looked like blue skies and…..THE SUN!
This week has been very wet. We’ve had well over 5 inches of rain. Everything is green and lush, and moldy too. Everyone is so sick of all the rain.
However the weatherman forecast a break in the weather, just in time for our Town’s Yard Sale. We were all feeling pretty good about that.
So, I arrived and immediately picked up 4 things for myself, before starting work. I then helped filling tables, waiting on customers and during lulls in the sales, chatting with the other women.
Someone asked if we had a camera to take a few pictures for our clubs scrap book. I’d left my purse at home and that was where my camera was…shoot! So I called Hubby and asked if he could bring it down. He showed up after about half an hour and took off to get our mail before the Post Office closed.
We all had noticed the sky had gotten a little darker, but hoped that the rain would go by us, when suddenly Hubby returned. He warned us to get everything under cover quickly as the storm would be here in about 10 minutes! I grabbed my raincoat and started moving things into the sheltered area that we had. The other women also moved things as quickly as we could, but the rain came a little faster than predicted.
It was also heavier than any of us had anticipated. I had a full raincoat on, but it was no match for the deluge that we suffered through. In less than half an hour I was soaked.
This is Miss Pig Tails and she is our Mascot. You can see the rain falling in the puddle in front of her.
We finished getting everything in the shelter, and then the woman who was chairing the committee in charge of the sale, sent me home.
A long hot shower and fresh dry clothes helped out a lot, as well as a nice hot cup of tea.
It rained for almost all of the rest of Saturday.It made me wonder when it will stop and a dry, bright, spring will be with us!
I love Miss Pig Tail!!! Sorry you got all wet! Love YOU, Mel
Oh, no! I’m sorry the sale got rained out.
Hi Maribeth,
it’s a long time since my last comment… I’ll write about the reason.
It seems you have had lot’s of Rain this Spring, while we until the past 7 Days actually had “Summer” for some weeks.
But now your weather has crossed the Pond and reached us her up North. Luckely most of the Rain falls on our Western Coast (Lucky for us).
Like you, it is allways a risk to plan outdoor activities, due to the unpredictable weather.
But I’m sure you do a great job.
BTW. Thanks for great comments
That is a lot of rain you have been having. Hope it gets better soon.
