Days Going By

Things are starting to warm up in my part of Michigan. Husband put in the window air conditioner for the main floor. It's not great and I try not to use it a lot, but it does get rather humid in the house, so I have it on the dry setting more than anything. I like having the windows open especially when there's a breeze. It makes the house feel a lot fresher. Outside, everything is so green. I like that the bushes and trees finally have leaves on them, so the garden feels a bit more private. I took time after dinner this evening to sit on the back porch. It was lovely to see a bunny in the garden as well as several Orioles and even a hummingbird! I have a hummingbird feeder out, but the raccoons seem to like it more than the hummingbirds lol. 

Inside, I'm not really getting much done. I am trying to write lists as they do help. I've come to a bit of a grinding halt with the decluttering. I really have to sort this house out, but I'm back to struggling again. I think if I stop doing it for a while I find it more difficult to get it started again. I failed completely at sorting the bedroom last month. I managed to sort through my clothes and that was it! This month is going to be quite busy with other things so I'm really not sure how much is going to get done this month either. 

I think, going forward, at the beginning of each month I'm going to write down some goals in my notebook - different ones for each area of my life - and then add at least one of two of those into my daily planning. I do like seeing things written down as it makes me want to tick them off the list. Do you have tricks to get projects (house-y or hobby) completed? 

Walking with my Friend - instead of meandering around, I've been making sure I walk each day. The mornings are getting warmer now and that means there are more people around. There are some quieter trails at Asylum Lake and those are the ones we like to walk. We've been seeing lots of new life around - the Sandhill Cranes had a baby, the swans had eight, several geese had families and the deer are finally having their offspring. It's so lovely to see.
