World's smallest bus rally

Sometimes they hold a bus rally and 100's of busses come. We went to one in Rickreall, OR a few years ago and there were around 175 busses there. We held a rally last weekend and there were 3 of us. We had quite a bit of fun nevertheless. One of the busses came from near Brandon and the other one from Weldon. The folks from Brandon are about 1/2 done converting their own MCI 7. The folks from Weldon did like us, bought a store-bought conversion and now get to fix everything that goes wrong, just like we do.

The rally was very alarming for Squawker and his mate. Its probably a good thing we didn't have more busses because he was really concerned by the arrival of 2 busses. I read somewhere that they will sometimes abandon a nest if they get disturbed too much so I was worried but they seem to have survived the weekend. There was some robins that nested in the spruce tree by the sidewalk going into the house that weren't so lucky though. They must have been nesting in one of the branches that we had to push out of the way to walk along the sidewalk. Those would be the same branches that are now cut off and drying out in the garden.

Other than being visited by busses there wasn't much else exciting in our last week. Seeding is pretty well wrapped up here. We're surrounded by peas - Gary's came up about a week ahead of Gregg's but there's peas on two sides of us now. Next weekend we are going to hold a mini yard sale. We've got a bunch of stuff to get rid of - stuff that we can't pawn off on RJ or Marlan and that isn't worth storing for 10 years. We should have been holding the sale this weekend - there was a yard sale across the road from us and another one 1/2 mile to the west. We would have fit right in.
