Sorting

Sorting beanies and buddies today. We have 11 rubbermaid bins of them and want to get it down to 1 or 2 to take. Hopefully we will be successful but now that we have dug them out, there seem to be a lot that we want to keep.

Dog Watching

Solomon, as usual, with his shadow MoeMoe. They were bird watching on the window sill until Maggie and Didi started a commotion inside that caused them to switch to dog watching. All of the cats are just waiting for spring. They are constantly at the windows and poking their heads out the door but not wanting to actually step into the snow. It is OK now but by spring they will be wailing up and down the halls with impatience for the grass.

Bows, Ribbons, Paper & Bags!

Can you believe that once it was all pulled out, sorted and added up... I had almost $400.00 worth of wrapping stuff?!? Spent the day sorting and getting things ready to sell. The more I go through it, the less I want to haul out to Nova Scotia. Really thinking of selling everything except the couch, ottoman and table. It would be nice if all we had to move was that, us and the dogs.

Peace

One of the fun side effects of packing... I am finding all kinds of things I like :)

Dr. Seuss

For some reason, he always makes me think of a Dr. Suess illustration when he sleeps like this.

Bluejay Stops

The Bluejay arrived the day before yesterday. He usually only stays 3 or 4 days before he is on his way. Miles was able to catch him through the window this morning.

Winter Rays

The little girls already do not like the winter weather. They stay inside a lot more than even a week ago. The only sunray they could find to share was on the dining room floor.

Amazed

I am stunned and amazed at how little I want to take and how easy it is to let go of everything. I am so looking forward to so much less clutter! I only have one bookshelf left to go through and all the books are packed in less than 3 full boxes... I should get away with only 4 total. Considering how many books I had, that is real accomplishment!

Sunset

The time change must have confused me and midnight came and went! This was today's photograph though not quite what I had hoped. By the time I noticed, the light was really changing so I had to take it from the deck with the branches in the way. Sunset out the kitchen window... bright pink sky and the fields were all orange-gold. It was prettier than this but you get the idea.

You might ask...

...what ever happened to step 1b but we are all over the place! Jumped forward all the way to step 5 and went to Sean's today. This gate and yard clean up are on the list for tomorrow. Feels like we are getting tons done... I hope the weather doesn't break for awhile.

Tools!

Skipped to step 2 and all the photographs today were of tools. Ticking off the "to do" list we got most of the tools sorted. Feeling progress all around me. Miles' dead car was picked up today. After two years on the drive, it looks empty out there now but since that was step 3, we are flying through the tasks ;)

We will definitely be ready for spring with yard clean up.

For Sale

Moving along with the "to do" list, I got the car washed and photographs taken today. Put plates on it for another month. Tomorrow we will clean the inside and post it for sale. Step 1a complete ;)

Another Garden To Go

We are listing our property this spring and as can be expected, my garden is too big! Anyone who is not a gardener would have a hard time keeping up to the size so everything in this photograph that is garden, has got to go. In this view, that includes the fence. Looks like I have busy days already lined up for spring!

Cool Story, Short Article

This seemed like the kind of thing I'd want to share on a blog :)  Enjoy!

Books!

...and magazines. That and cleaning up in the yard were on my agenda for today. The littlest stack is coming to you, everything in front of it is sell/donate and everything beyond is coming with us. It was two boxes of books so far and I think maybe one more to go. If we have under 4 boxes of books to go, I will be happy with that. Kind of fun going through my books, and that the snow has melted :)

Coffee Anyone?

Ran out of K-cups today and we are two days from a trip to town so I hauled out the coffee pot. This is the first pot of coffee I have made in a couple of years... nice to know I remembered how though :)

Out of Control

My "to do" list has gotten totally out of control! Do you know how much there is to do? Yikes!
