It's about to happen & I can't believe it. Just knowing how close I am to my life's dream is giving me so much satisfaction...
In relation to my thread about the fact I'm a packrat, I am also a clean freak neat freak and the those two sides of me are soooo not compatible!
Usually if the house is clean there's a mess somewhere like out in the garage, or maybe the yard needs attention so I abandon the house and never make it to the garage before the yard needs it again and as the world spins I've never been able to catch up. Well, I'm almost there and the feeling is euphoric!
Yep, the house, the closets, everything, 2 garages AND the yard! I have maybe a half hour to mow, and a little weed whacking and just the outside of the windows left. No boxes stacked in the closets and all my drawers and cupboards are neat and orderly.
What I maybe didn't realize when I started all of this, that my sub-concious was probably demanding this new found order and I'm only a week late for my 10th anniversery of living here that happened last saturday.
So, given that it probably took me a week to organize my stuff, I'm probably exactly on target to have everything looking at least as orderly as it did 10 years ago today!
Of course it looks much nicer than it did 10 years ago, for one thing I painted the house a few years ago and I have gardens everywhere. When I moved here there wasn't a plant or barely a tree in the yard, save for a few tall pines and some apple trees and a nice Maple that has since so grown tall & beautiful that the original owner who planted it comes by yearly just to visit it.
The only thing missing is pictures of the old farmstead before the house burned down in 1981 & I'd have some but they were lost in the fire. And I'm thankful that the original owners are wonderful positive people that left their beautiful footprints all over this place and some of my most welcome visitors.
I guess I'm ready to hunker down for another 10 years.
There's no place like home...
And I know that there are those among you that think I'm loco for hanging around a place where a week of 20 below for a high temp isn't unusual in the dead of winter, all I can say is I know how to hibernate. Sometimes in January I'll get a yearning to move to a warmer climate & although there is really nothing holding me here & I'm pretty much free to leave, I'll probably leave this place when the carry me out of here in a Chariot.
It was raining the night I took this pic a few weeks ago when I was coming home from working on the bead buffet, but the sun was still putting on a glorious show going down, as viewed from my driveway.
