Thank you for the lovely comments on the last post. We'll see how much I can get rid of this month!
March 1st. Wow. After yesterday's mild temperatures, the cold returned. Really cold. The wind was blowing too. It was so bitter I couldn't walk for long. I ended up coming home again pretty soon and husband and I decided to go to the Amish shop, stopping at a small park on our way. There are several eagles in the area. It didn't disappoint! I didn't get any great photos, but I saw plenty of eagles. The water was mostly frozen with only a few small open areas where the eagles were fishing. I had to have seen more than ten of them! Quite unusual for our area.
I made a small list today, but nothing too significant. I checked off all I had on there, including going up in the craft room. I pulled out a few items I'm ready to get rid of...maybe...sort of. Sigh. The craft room has become my new nemesis. I'm hoping at some point it will become easier to get rid of things. I'm reallly struggling there. Maybe, at some point it will become like the books (had a problem with letting go of them) and something will click, and it will be easier. I have to keep in mind that the goal is to have a relaxing house and to think about what I'd really like to take with me to that dream small cabin lol.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be a little warmer. We aren't talking heatwave. It might reach freezing. I think the winds are supposed to be lighter. We're going out for our usual Sunday Adventure, but I'm not sure where yet. Definitely somewhere near Lake Michigan. There is still some ice around, but this is probably the last weekend.
Photo for today - the beginnings of Spring. Once the snow had started to melt in the woods the tops of daffodils began to peek up through the leaves.
I completely wasted Friday and Saturday in getting clutter busted- even basic housework was minimal. I needed a break. No signs of spring here at all. I watch for hostas to poke but that'll be May. I need to split them this year
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to take a break when needed. I hope you see some Spring soon.
DeleteI'm pleased for you that spring flowers are appearing - that's such a hopeful sign.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see so many eagles! I get excited seeing red kites . . .
I'd love to see one of them! It was nice seeing all the eagles. We don't usually see them near our house.
DeleteWould it be helpful to concentrate on decluttering the books and other items that are maybe a little easier to declutter than the craft supplies? It helps with the motivation when you can see some progress and that might be easier to achieve with things like books?
ReplyDeleteI hope you've enjoyed a lovely weekend.
I think you're probably right. I do feel more accomplished when tackling the books, but I do want to keep plodding along with the crafting supplies. I'd love to get the craft room sorted. It's a slow-going thing though and I want to tackle the main area of the house this month.
DeleteThat bud is so wonderfully fresh against the dead leaves - such an amazing picture!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs for the craft room. Sometimes things just need to click on their own. You know that you can make progress, though, because you have with the books. If you just manage a tiny thread or whisker at a time, you're still going forward.
Thanks so much.
