Have you heard about the Longest Yard Sale? It happens every year in early August. It follows highway 127 from Minnesota to Alabama which is over 600 miles! Seven years ago I went with my daughter to a portion near Chattanooga, TN.  We had a great time buying a rocking horse, some Christmas tins and Legos for my one grandchild. I now have four grandchildren and the Legos have been enjoyed by all of them. This year my sister retired and one thing she wanted to do was attend the Yard Sale. She flew to Atlanta where I picked her up and drove up to Chattanooga. In spite of the rain we had a great day. During my first trip I bought some metal pumpkins for outdoor decorations during the fall. The same vendor had more options available this year so I added a metal turkey to the set. My sister couldn’t pass them up either and also bought a turkey and two pumpkins. Her purchases will reside in my garage until next spring when she drives here and can take them home. Thought you might enjoy a picture of the trio.

The turkey is also a planter so I intend to find the perfect mum to brighten it up.
