SPRING CLEAN UPDATE

Never seems to fail that when I go to do something, Grace (the house cat) is laying right smack on top of it.

The good news is that I did manage to get all my plants into the ground (even bought more). Even somehow managed to get everything out of storage before I had to dish out the $80 for another month. But that just means I have another garage full of stuff to sift through. Can’t figure why I ever chose to save half the stuff. At least I have gotten far enough to plan on my first yard sale (of course the weather report is now looking like rain).

SPRING RACES!

This past month I’ve been going through all of the things that we collected for the past 12 years. Wendy was even kind enough to come over and spend the day going through everything we had in the attic. The result ended with a major trailer hall of trash to the dump and a bunch of stuff for me to take to flea markets and donate what I can’t sell to Goodwill.

With storage fees due for next month so this week has been a surge of panic as I am hustling every moment I can to sort through everything in my garden shed, garage, and art studio only to refill the space with my storage stuff (sadly that will mean another load of stuff to sort through). I long for the moment I feel my life is simplified but in the meantime I guess I’ll have to do without having a life until the job is done.

I’ve also purchased a ton of flowers and a couple of tomato plants hoping that I can get them dropped into the ground within the next week despite my load of chores. My neighbors got their yards looking so smart that it motivates me every time I pull up. Hopefully I can get them plants in the ground before they die waiting.
