Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Three Score and Ten + Day 279, Everyones a Bidder

It is hard come to terms with the fact spring is two thirds done. Maybe some day I will be able to sit back and watch it slowly go by. Now that the last part of spring here get warm with unsettled weather. I set here this evening thinking I am in a good situation for this spring. I should have every thing planted by Memorial day or shortly after. That is what I shoot for.

I am writing this a I watch a Internet Auction that is ending. There is not much I have a bid on. So it should be okay to do both. You can get Play by Play coverage of the auction. I just had to up my bid on four dry measure tins, one peck to one quart nesting set. We shall see how that works out. Some time has now passed and my two bids are holding. my bid on the book I wanted did not hold, I had to get down in the trenches and slug it out. I did win the book. it is a Book On Kaiser Wilhelm II 1880 to 1913. It is rough and will need some TLC, But there are great period photos. It is an over size book. I have always had a great interest in European History. Now on to the Dry measures. Time has again past, I just lost the Dry Measures. It seems that I pick out items that draw a lot of interest. I did bid more then I wanted, but they would have been a good thing to have. I try not to chase another bidder. This was a new bidder that jumped in at the last minutes. I am wound but will live to bid and win another day. I will turn off the auction now to write.
We will be leaving early on Tuesday for the north. The blueberries arrived on Thursday and need to get planted as soon as possible. They are large dormant plugs wrapped in plastic. I put them on the cool humid basement floor, hopefully they will be okay. We will return on Thursday so I can mail if I have too before memorial day. I will write again at that time. I hope you have a Great Blessed Week.
