Yesterday Was Such a Busy Day!

I am up a little later than I like to be and have spent my time trying to get caught up on all my notifications. Yesterday was such a busy day, I didn't get the time to do much of anything on my computer! I worked on cleaning out our barn all day yesterday! Our barn is more of a big storage shed, where we keep things stored in tubs and boxes and some of our yard equipment. It had gotten in such a mess, I couldn't stand it anymore! I fought the spiders and a scorpion or two and moved everything around to clean. I went through boxes and threw somethings out that just were not any good anymore. I was amazed at all the dead June bugs and leaves that had found their way in! Now it is all organized and clean, but hubby isn't one to "put things back where they belong", so I know it will not stay this way for long! Not a very good picture of our barn, but it seems to be the only one I have!

It looks just like I imagine American barns to be! Hopefully it will stay tidy for a little while at least.

It used to be a nice looking barn, but time is taking its toll. We really need to do some work on it, but it is going to be pretty expensive. At least it is clean for now and maybe we will find some time and money to do a little work on it this year.

@sgbrown There is always something needing maintenance.

It sounds as if you've been really busy Sheila, and it must feel satisfying to have got it all clean and tidy. (Even if it's only for a while).

It does feel good to know that it is all cleaned up, at least for a little while.

I hate to clean the garden shack because I fear to find dangerous bugs inside.

@sgbrown I always wear gloves when I work outside, but wearing long sleeved shirts it's not always enough.

I hate doing it too, @LadyDuck but it has to be done and hubby has other things to do. I wear gloves and long sleeved shirt so I won't get bitten by anything.

His "barn" which is the other half of my barn, is a MESS! You can barely walk inside. That is where a lot of his car junk is and there is no way I am touching any of that. Now, his shop stays pretty neat. I wish he would treat the house like he does his shop!

I wish I could have spent yesterday outside but it poured all day. Hopefully no rain today.

I know how you feel! It had been raining nearly every day here for a while, I was so glad to have a nice day to work outside! I hope you had a warm and sunny day today!

Wow, cool looking barn! That is impressive. How scary to run across scorpions. I am midwestern so of course I have never seen or dealt with these (only in movies). Glad that you got so much done. I wish your motivation was contageious :_-)

Thank you, @maezee I wish I had a better picture of it. It really needs some work done on it now. The scorpions you see on TV are really large. These are barely in inch in length, but I have been told that their sting is really painful. I don't want to find out for myself! I have made myself a list of things that need to be done around here and just started working on it. That is the best way for me to get things done!

I hate all those spiders and things that come out when we do a deep cleaning.

It's a lovely picture, I finally got a profile picture on here, not the one I wanted, but that was the only one that would submit.
