Yard Sale Scramble

There was a note placed in our front door handle on Friday that detailed the fact that someone has decided to set May 7 as a date for a street sale here. That gives us um…2 WEEKS to get all the crap in the basement organized and sorted and priced for a yard sale. We’ve been meaning to have one but I sure wish this was scheduled for later on, like maybe June. We just have to kick in $2 for a print ad in the paper, though, so we’d be nuts not to include ourselves. So I guess for the next little while I’ll be working away in the basement. The silver lining is that the weather has been and is forecast to be nasty anyway, so at least I’m not missing out on valuable garden time. I hope we can get rid of a lot of stuff. It’s becoming overwhelming down there. I just keep having the “out of sight, out of mind” attitude toward it. We won’t get around to painting the basement until the fall or winter, but I still hate things to be all crowded and jumbled up. I’d better roll up my sleeves and get to work!
