I drove through the blowing snow to get to a Caring Transitions estate sale in Woodstock on Applewood Lane off of McConnell Road in Woodstock. McConnell road had so much snow blowing onto it that I almost slid off of it a couple of times. But, I trudged on. I'm glad that I did. I found 2 fabulous cement statues for the garden. One of mushrooms and the other is a frog spouting fountain. Nothing better to get me into gardening mode and thinking of spring. The price was right at $10 each. I sat through a Seed class last night at the U of I Master Gardener office in Woodstock and thoughts of spring haven't left me yet. After today's weather, I don't think that we are even close to spring yet. Oh well!
There is a kids book sale (some adult books too) at the Algonquin Township Office this weekend. I stopped in today and found some nice books and comics. Kids books are 50 cents each and adult books are $1 each. Since I'll be inside, some new reads are a good idea.
I looked at the estatesales.net website and saw that there are estate sales in the next few weeks close by. Treasure hunting will keep me from going stir crazy.
