Helping with an Estate Sale by the Wild Roses

Last weekend we helped three different days with an estate sale for a friend who had passed away.
We helped with making signs to post at the ends of streets.
Our Rose working on her sign by the roses.
It was so much fun working on a carpet of lush, green grass, under a big shade tree, and by these beautiful rose bushes.
We taped the signs onto stakes and pounded them into the ground at street corners.
Here is one beautiful flower garden we walked past after putting up a sign.
These fragrant roses brought back happy memories of my favorite home place in Pennsylvania where some kind of perennial flower was blooming at all times of the spring, summer and fall.
We had so many of these rose bushes there.
It was such a blessing to this Pennsylvania heart that is starved for flowers and roses and shade trees.
It took hours to set out a lot of stuff, and of course, some was just left in the house for people to roam around.
We made aisles of boxes of stuff from the garage and house.
Crystal got most of these pictures for me on Saturday because on Friday I was too busy to take many pictures.
 Timmy and Danny were tickled to help with the cashier work so Sis. Naomi could sort and organize.
 I just drank in these roses the day I was there.
A three-legged dog ambled by, but you wouldn't know it only had three legs when it spied a black squirrel.
The black squirrel was just about toast.
On Father's Day Jonathan was still ill with his terrible congestion and cough and headache and had to stay home, so when all the rest of the dads were called up front to get their gift bag of home made cookies and get clapped for, 
one handsome, bearded, smiling face was not there.
Needless to say I missed my handsome prince up there!
We hurried back home to eat dinner with our dear daddy who was drinking hot broth and water, breathing in colloidal silver steam mixed with essential oils in the infuser, and resting.
We had some little gifts for Daddy.
These were the cookies from church.
Carrie had come up with a cute little basket titled, "To the best POP in the world!"
It had pop, popcorn, pop-its, a lollipop, and a baggie of mix called Peanuts Or Pretzels (POP). 
Our steer kept getting out that day, too.
