Three more years. Those hours will fly by. Have to keep the energy going. Friend came over yesterday. She has a free spirit. And, I admit it, is physically about 20 years younger than me and mine. She agreed to trade a Walmart cabinet for mowing work. Gads the weeds have grown sky high in just a couple of weeks! So....yesterday was move furniture day. I decided to place an antique china cabinet into the bedroom- thanks for the huge help, hubby! and then hey, let's get the tall radio cabinet into the living room by the front door. Thanks, hubby! And of course the got rid of it cabinet needed to go out the door and down the deck steps..... Hubby pitted Bing cherries and I boiled them up with corn starch and made pie pastry. Friend mowed weeds while I picked raspberries. We ended the day with simple spaghetti and yup, cherry pie. I will bring this afternoon and evening with me when I move. I won't bring that little glass and crystal candle holder cause I gave it to friend but this afternoon and evening, this camaraderie, that's all mine! The photo is mine. Guess I am greedy for sure.

I am in the process of Marie Kondoing my house as well, if it brings me joy it stays, if not, it goes. It's amazing how few things actually bring me joy.

@BelleStarr Ooooh. Scrapbooking. I'm imagining color and texture and crying over tossing it. I wish you luck with that one.

@BelleStarr I hear you. I have to watch it with the concept of joy: I can sit and ponder on what joy means to me and bingo, move nothing out. Last year I moved out a bunch of unfinished stuff- projects that didn't work out, little things that didn't quite work quite right. Bye! And awkward sized objects. Went.

I'm doing more yard cleanup, those winds keep moving paper and plastic bags around and eventually I get some of it here and those bags end up in the tree tops, can't reach those so I just watch the flutter.

I suppose my neighbors feel the same way but I wish I wasn't the one that had to clean up their mess @sallypup

@rebelann I love it when the wind suddenly gusts and whoosh!! My junk sails over to the neighbor's cow pasture. Takes care of that issue rather nicely.

@CarolDM Thanks. Today we're resting! This coming week garbage will be picked up so I need to go around and think about what could go into that can. Its too easy to think a quart yogurt tub is useful and then well, keep adding up the tubs.....

Your china cabinet is beautiful. he cherry pie sounds so good. I'm not a big baker anymore so I guess I will ask my daughter in law to make one if I supply everything. She likes to bake so I bet she says yes.

It is really freeing to get rid of things that you don't want or can't use any more.
