worse before it gets better...

why is it that i have to make things a giant mess when my intentions are to clean then up??

i emptied the cellar and barn with the theory of cleaning and organizing.  suddenly our yard looked like a giant yard sale (or episode of hoarders - my worst nightmare!)

really cleaning and organizing also becomes the sentimental time to look through everything before i decide what to keep and what to toss.

 i used to be a keeper.  now it often goes something like this, "oh, sweet!  remember when _____?"  toss or d.i?  someday i might regret some of it, but mostly, it feels so good to not have so much stuff....


thankfully, with many hours of elbow grease - yea for the husband being done with finals!- we now can walk into both the cellar and the barn.

bonus: while cleaning i can hang out in my random cowboy hat.  and bebe can try it on too...

yes- all belongings were neating in place before days end.  and we were tired.
