Yard Sale Season Hath Begun

We went to three sales today. The pickings were slim, but the clutter was interesting. At the last sale, Duncan was asked if he likes jumping on trampolines. Is the Pope Catholic? The man running the sale turned on a machine and the trampoline inflated in seconds. It had a musty garage smell but was nevertheless full of bouncy fun.

I didn't buy the trampoline, but I did purchase a bag of accessories for Rosie, our class gerbil. Check the recessionary price.

Psychotherapy on the cheap.
At the second sale, the owner was getting rid of a lot of musical baggage, including old newspapers following the trial of Mark David Chapman. Sad and creepy clutter: yours for $5.00. 
On a slightly happier note, she was selling a Bob Marley snack table. Irie!

The first sale was on our street. It was a bit grim: a few books and DVDs spread out on the front lawn. I picked up a huge poetry anthology for .50 and How to Draw Birds for a quarter. 

It's old, but filled with tons of poems. 

How to draw water birds.
