The Wife and I attended what will probably be the only auction we will go to this year. It was a Doctor's estate with an unbelievable amount of good items. Of course, the buyers were there as well.
After several hours we left with our meager purchases, which were a Mettlach stein, a huge Rookwood vase, and a large original painting. Not much to show for a day's effort...until we returned home.
The neatest part of the day appeared when I went out to feed the chickens. I glanced out the barn door, and here was a little mother hen with her brood of 10 freshly hatched babies. Truly, the end to a perfect day!
