My favorite season ~ Garage Sale Season!

Well, first of all I want to thank Home Mom for hosting this weeks Blog Carnival - "What's your favorite weather/season and why?". Make sure you check out all the other participants entries!

Living in South Louisiana - we pretty much have one season here ~ the humidity season. If you have ever been to New Orleans you know what I mean!

It is either:

Hot and humid ~
Windy and humid ~
Warm and humid ~
Hot and humid ~
Hot and humid ~

or sometimes it is even hot and humid! You see, although we occasionally get a category 3 or 4 hurricane roll through town...it rarely stops the humidity. It is a fact of life living in the south that I have come to embrace!

With that being said, I really don't have a favorite "weather season" but I do have a favorite season!

It is garage sale season!

Each state is differenet but in South Louisiana garage sale 'season' is from early February ~ late November, only taking about a 8 week break for the Christmas/New Years holidays. This for me as an eBay seller is perfect! I can spend my Saturday mornings seeking out those hidden treasures tucked away in the back of boxes or mixed in with those typical garage sale items. It is almost as if the thrill of the hunt is more exciting than the profit potential.

It is great that on Saturdays I can get up at 5am 10 months out of the year and put on shorts and a T-shirt and be comfortable shopping in the wee hours of the morning! Gosh, I love the South!
