I can't believe another week is over!
It was really cold this morning and despite still feeling a bit blah, I did bundle myself up (double mittens, double socks, 4 layers on top, a hat and a hood, hand warmers and toe warmers) and go out for a walk. There was a tiny bit of open water at the beaver lodge but I didn't see any beavers. I had a quick walk, kept moving, took a few photos, enjoyed the unexpected sunshine before heading back to my car. I made a brief stop at the shops to pick up a couple of items.
I did get a tiny bit of decluttering done this afternoon. There is a small bookcase over in one corner that has a multitude of books piled on two shelves, all higgledy-piggledy, but balanced carefully. Another shelf has a bunch of cross stitch magazines and five folders (binders) containing recipes and printed out material. I got a start on it. I have 13 books that I have so far let go of. I sorted through three folders. Threw out a whole bunch of recipes and organised the others. They are all in plastic sleeves to protect them when I take them out to cook the item. I have to look through the magazines. The plan for tomorrow. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. I did find some photos of me and mum that I'd tuck away years ago. A little sad but made me smile to. I miss her so much. Sigh.
I should have - and meant to take photos of the sorting but forgot. Did take a couple of phone ones on my walk.
I looked up and saw sunshine
And this sign made me groan (?) laugh (?) feel confused (?)
Not quite sure what this means. The beavers came to this place by themselves (ie they weren't introduced), they aren't kept there and can leave whenever. I'm thinking someone has too much time on their hands.
Not sure what's up for the weekend. Probably a couple of trips to places along the lakeshore. Because the temps have been so cold there is ice building. Next week will turn warmer (above freezing) and it will probably melt, so we want to go see while we can. Tomorrow afternoon I'll work on the bookshelves some more.
What are your plans for the weekend? Is the weather going to be good or bad?
I admire you for going out walking in that freezing cold! I'd be hunkered down in front of the heater - come to think of it, that's exactly what I'm doing right now!
ReplyDeleteYou did a lot of decluttering, with letting go of 13 books! I pulled out one book, last night, looked through it, and put it right back on the shelf! LOL.
No big plans for the weekend - I need to go to the pharmacy to pick up some medication and do a few things around the house. Have a lovely weekend!
I'm trying really hard with the books but it isn't easy!
DeleteI used to stay indoors more, but after many years of living in Michigan I realised that if I didn't go outside when the weather's bad I wouldn't go out for half the year!
The weather is pretty drab and wet here in North Yorkshire UK so we are at the workshop - we might as well work! Looking forward to brighter weather when we van get out on the motorbike for some tootles!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for warmer weather! I really want to go camping and get away somewhere again!
DeleteI hadn't realised the beavers had found their own way there. I thought they had been introduced to the area.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a quiet weekend. I bought some wool this morning and plan to get started on my giant granny square blanket. xx
Yes, not sure where they came from. They have been there about four years now I think.
DeleteWhat does that mean? Let them go? Where? To their natural habitat - oh wait....they are! People are so (fill in the blank)....ahahah.
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me laugh. I don't know why they think that.
