A Satisfying Day
It might be a dreary day, but who cares! The world looks brighter when looking through clean windows. Today was the last of the 64″ windows. I didn’t do it for anyone but me. Dennis got the windows up far enough to lock for nobody but . . . me.
While the vacuum was out, I did get a swipe at corners. Most importantly was the dryer vent. The vacuum is going to stay in the west porch for a time. It is so much easier than getting it off the attic steps to use. Out of sight out of mind. I see it every day and there is no denying where and when to use it.
The last of the Christmas wall hangings was put into the stairwell going into the studio. I do have more wall hangings than I have space to put up. Dennis gets a vote. He has discriminating taste when it comes to my stitching projects. If Dennis had his way, our five foot Santa would be on the first floor of our home. Not only do we have limited wall space, we have limited floor space. What ever shall we do! We decorate for our own enjoyment.
I have one last item to do before the day gets much older. A trip to the attic to put away some extra items that seem to be under foot. I love our small home and need to make decisions on my level of comfort when it feels like “too much.” Living minimal is our goal, but is easier said than done. It is my situation of having an emotional attachment to work with and consider.
Let’s just call a spade, a spade. The first floor of our home is a far cry easier than my studio. The solution was put into place the first part of 2021. No purchases! I have stuck to that and have been quite content working from what I have. Grant it, when Kersten shared with me a fair amount of sewing supplies . . . that did not count. Tee Hee.
Dennis found quite a few green wreaths with red bows on them in the far back garage. Hmm. That stash had been forgotten. Dennis had the best time placing them on the posts of the picket fence. He even made sure that several faced neighbor Jan’s yard. What a fellow. The wreaths and the red bow on the front door does make it feel very festive. I have since had a situation of loading photos and will try tomorrow to load Dennis’ picket fence.
It has been a long enough day. Catch ya all tomorrow.
