This morning as I headed down to the barn, I noticed many cars in my late neighbor's yard, and realized today was the Auction Day. Ugh. Knowing that my pack rat son's "Imaginatarium" would appreciate some additions, I woke him up, and we headed across the road. The scene was reminiscent of ants crawling over a discarded food container. I was happy that many of the oil paintings done by Rosemary's mother, who painted prolifically until her passing at 102 yrs old, went to friends and neighbors. I did pick up a few little trinkets that reminded me of the many times we were her "received" visitors. Eric enjoyed exploring the barn built in 1850 that housed a remarkable antique Studebaker Carriage. (See photos) I am glad the auction was held in the month of October - Rosemary's favorite time of year- fall colors, harvest, and Halloween! This day was a good reminder that we are just passing through this world, and we should live each day to its fullest. So with that in mind I'm going to enjoy the sunshine and get some exercise!
