The summer had flown by. I dunno how these things happen. Maybe we can blame Einstine. Seems he was always fooling with time and space. I never seem to have enough of either of those. But I think we are ready for winter, in any case. No more traveling except maybe a couple shopping trips. That’s good.

Looks like our semi planned trip next spring is off. Won’t be going to Great Basin or on to Yellowstone. That park is going to have to wait for a little later in the year from the looks of things. Oh well…

But I have been getting a few things done like trying to organize (if I can use the term loosly) my yarn and project stash. He has promised to redo Le Shed so I can actually find things out there. That will be great! I can barely get into it at this time and I don’t have to fear falling out of bed as there is almost no place to fall too, there is so much Stuff stacked in there. It’s pathetic, actually. Now I think of it, the whole house is like that. Can hardly eat dinner as the dining table is stacked full, can’t find anything in the fridge tho I am sure there’s hardly any food in there! I did get in the bathroom yesterday and clear off the counter top. Filled the trash can with expired and dried up stuff. Guess that’s what I ought to be doing other places now instead of typing and griping here, huh?!

Well, the outside world is lovely, anyway. Maybe I can be a bit more cheerful once I get the house in a more friendly condition. Frankly io am delighted that I don’t have to plan for an early spring trip or classes. I already feel more relaxed! I think I’ll go clean somthing!

Thank you for putting up with my grumpy post, I’ll do better next time, promise!

Okay, I didn’t even get this one posted but am in a better mood today so will just leave that but add some more cheerful stuff. Like this afghan. I thought I could put it out on the deck to dry for blocking. We swept off the oak leaves that were piling up but it’s still very wet and tho the sun is shining it isn’t getting in past our trees to dry the deck.  So I gave up and layed it out on the LR floor. Himself has a nice fire going so it ought not take long to dry.

I seem to have a differnt blog editor than I usually use so not sure what this is going to look like! lol I am hunting for technical help and will hire someone if I can find someone I can work with. That’s the tricky part, being the old (       ) that I am!

But reading that first part again, I have made some progress at Organizing (if I may use that word freely) my house. The kitchen got a little work over. This end of the little room was piled high, every time I needed something it would start an avalance so I gritted teeth and tackled it. He helped me move the microwave and built the little spice shelf. A lot of stuff got taken out to the washroom/pantry and I can actually find what I need! I hope to be able to keep it up. Today I tackle the fridge. The turkey has to come out of the freezer and into the fridge to start thawing for next week.

You might think this still looks clutered but it is lovely! My kitchen is tiny. On the left is my stove and there is 18″ of counter after that then the proch door. On the right next to the dishwasher is the sink, 12″ of counter, and the fridge. There’s a couple cupboards on the sink side and a window above the stove. That’s my kitchen. But I get breakfast & dinner made daily and all the canning done in the summer so you can say it’s big enough. Okay, I need to be working on the fridge instead of talking to you.. Remember, that’s need, not want! I hope you are having a sunny and cheerful day!
