It Could go Either Way
Our weather may soon change. Either rain, sleet or snow. Very well, a little of it all.
Today the Christmas tree storage box came out of the basement. My 7′ pencil tree had served us well. It now needed to be put away until Thanksgiving of 2021. I am working towards making my days safer within our home. The walkup attic is wonderful to visit from time to time. It is not a good thing when heavy items need to be transported. The steps are very steep. Our basement incudes my sewing studio and we would be lost without it for extra utility. It is not a good thing when heavy items need to be transported.

Our main floor has one closet. You got it! The boxed Christmas tree was headed for the closet. I don’t wear dresses except for rare occasions and one dress does it. Our clothes are shirts, many of which are folded in that 7′ tall wooden cabinet. There are very few pants that are on pant hangers. The enclosed box holding the Christmas tree slid perfectly under the bar holding my shirts. The tote holding the Christmas tree ornaments and the Nativity slid perfectly under the bar that holds Dennis’ clothes. Each bar making a 90 degree union in the closet. There will be no chance of harming my self in the next Christmas season.
Several Thanksgivings ago, Kevin put up shelves, two high, above the clothes bars in the closet on three walls for extra quilts and blankets. Our basement may implode for the shelves on the exterior walls and the closet would be in for a second possibility. Nonetheless, it works. Grammie is happy and Dennis is none the wiser as to where things disappear to. Ignorance is bliss.
We may not be feeding the deer in the backyard, but I am enjoying the deer that are coming to our neighbor’s bird feeders. Those deer are just as crafty as squirrels.
I did get my errands done today and will stay put if the weather turns on us tomorrow. It is winter after all. I believe that spring will be here in some 70 days. I like it. I like a lot about my days and my wish is that everyone finds moments and hours to like in each and every day.
