Fence is down

Yesterday, the fence around our front yard came down!  John Fardal came over in the morning and he and Guillermo worked on it until about 3pm.  They brought the whole thing down from around one side and all across the front.  It'll take some getting used to because it sure looks different out there.  When they were done taking the fence down, they stored all the chain link and poles in the backyard, and then we all washed up a bit and went to eat at Chile Lindo.
Here's how yesterday morning went:

 There was one section of the fence that was quite difficult, but with lots of muscle power, they got it down.

This is how our yard looks now - without the fence in front.

That was Friday. On Saturday, today, we had our third garage sale. Wow, was it a hot day!! We hung a fan from one of the trees and that helped quite a bit - especially if you were standing right in front of it.
We didn't have too many people come by for the garage sale until about 11am, and then it got real busy until about 2. But there was always something going on in our yard. Jacob and Skye played in a little pool and also in a sprinkler. When my friend Linda came with her two kids, they joined Jacob and Skye in the water. Then Sergio and his family came over to get some more plants. John came by again today also, to put all that fencing on a trailer. All the while, Carlos is in the background digging out a tree. That looked almost impossible to do in this heat. But he did it. He dug that tree up and placed it in a big bucket! Then later, Chris starts digging up another tree. That was some tough work - especially doing that digging while it was so hot. Around 3, Carlos and Kathy pack up their truck with plants and the tree and leftover garage sale stuff.
So, we were quite busy with family and friends today. It made the day fun!
