Cupboards...Wash Tubs....Iron Fragments...Garden Furniture...Cupolas...Big Spiders...Darling...Field Mouse...Huge Cast Iron Farm Sink...and...Jesus...

Oh...my.....where do I  begin.... This day didn't turn out...anything...like I had planned...

The Only thing I had planned was to meet with my Sweet...Light Girl.. Julie...who was bringing me a 5 foot tall Crucifix...from a long...gone... Church...near Cascade, Iowa....

and...to Open....The Rabbit Hole..

As I was brushing my hair...early this morn...the phone rang...it was John...one of our neighbors, had some things he wanted me to look at.... so...I quickly got pulled together...so I could run there.... before I opened...

I found some fun stuff... {a Darling...Garden Settee...a Huge...Old...Cast Iron Farm House Sink...with a Tall Back Splash...and Drainboard! and...a Sweet...Old Wheelbarrow.... {those images, tomorrow..}

Came home...started getting Wind Fall damages...picked up...and the phone rang... it was a friend...from about 45 minutes South...that was cleaning out her parent's Farm.... she was having a Sale...had JUST...put signs up.... I Flew...

Gave John...the money....for Julie... and Flew!

Oh My!

She had Tons of Great Stuff!

{she said...after I loaded... she never dreamt... I'd get it all on the Ford.... : ) }

After I shopped the garage...she asked if I'd like to dig in the barn.... : ) ....

Oh...My....

We unearthed...some Grrrreat Treasures!

I found some....Gnarly...Old Stuff!

John helped me unload....when I got home...

as he picked up an old nail keg...a Big Fat Field Mouse...Jumped Out!!!!

Soooo Cute!

Poor Little Guy!

He must have had quite a ride!

Then...as I unloaded a stack of old drawers.....I saw...a Huge Spider...must have been the size of a Silver Dollar!... We found Safe Places...for both of them....

Then...Friends...stopped by...and also...loved some of the treasures....got them...loaded...and...made my delivery...

Whew...

It's Been...a Long...Long...Day!

I told my friend...at the Barn...as I was digging...and rooting... " If I should die...This Very Moment...it would be... The Perfect Way...to Go Out..." I hope... when it's my...Time.... I go out...Digging Through...an....Old...Iowa...Barn...What a Way...to Go!

I am...waaaaay...past Exhausted...

And...My Apologies...to Sweet...Julie...

but...all...in all...

What a Great Day!!!!

Hope...You had a Most...Wonderful Day...

as well...

Love...to Ya!
