You are in a good location to have a sale. We never had one out here because it’s just so far out. We landed up trashing stuff over the years. But I think the building will make for a good sale.
The hardest thing to decide what to do with is pictures...the big ones in frames that I have inherited. I talked to my brother and he’s going to come out soon and go thru them and we’ll divide them up...but still...what to do with the ones like my parents and grandparents wedding pictures??? I doubt I’ll want to hang them, but storing them seems fruitless...how many generations are going to want to pass down a box of pictures of people they never met....but I just can’t throw them away...
Your dinner sounds wonderful:)
That is one big mole(?)...he could do some damage I would imagine. Wonder how many relatives he has out there?

Well, what we read on the internet about moles is that they’re relatively territorial and solitary, and usually when there is a ‘mole problem’ it’s really just one mole making ALL the holes and one mole can control as much as an acre. They said you’d usually only find one mole per acre. So the “yard mole” and the “paddock mole” may in fact be the same mole, we’ll see.
There is another one out at the far end of the pasture too, that may not be the same one, but I’m going to destroy all the holes in the paddock today and watch... and hope!
The family photos are interesting to keep, but I would put them all in a big album. It’s interesting family history that won’t get looked at a lot, but someone should be it’s caretaker.
Does anyone have a scanner? Another interesting thing to do is scan them and put them on a CD you can store easily and share.
And if you still know who all the people are, write down names and relations and even locations, if they are of old farmsteads, on the back of the pictures... the next generation won’t know.
Well, we better get going.... Our agenda for today:
1. Go down to Bob’s and feed his critters.
2. Pick up our horse trailer from the shop.
3. Back it into the driveway to prep it for a good wash and re-stocking it with all our stuff.
4. Jack up trailer and take slow-leaking tire to tire shop.
5. Go get hay.
6. Go down and feed Bob’s critters again.
