I'm glad to read that you and your sister are getting through that part of the process smoothly, Nammu. You're lucky about that.

My husband and I also don't have room for all of our stuff in our new house. Much is in storage. I'd love to get rid of some of it, but it's not so easy in Czech Republic. Garage/yard sales just don't happen here. Last week at the strawberry festival we did see some people with stuff for sale on blankets, but I'm unsure how they found out about that. And it seems more flea market like than typical garage sale. Plus, my husband and I have way way more than would fit on a couple blankets or tables. It's mostly Hubby's stuff, not mine. It's like pulling nails to get him to part with things.

The majority of local produce here in CZ comes in paper containers or baskets, or loose at markets. Only imported fruits and veggies (from far) usually come in plastic.

Some brush was cleared from our property, recently. Only today I saw that there are three nice blueberry bushes. Question is: How many berries will the birds allow us? We have some blackberry bushes, but they will soon be ripped out. And also four apple trees and a short row of grape vines. Lots of fruit! I remember in Moravia there being plum trees nearly everywhere. Not as many in Bohemia. Here apple trees are more prevalent.
