I don’t know about you, but when I go to clean out a closet or drawer, sometimes it works and other times I seem unable to cull anything…

today I was successful in dealing with my bedroom closet… I’ve realized that I don’t really need 6 pairs of dress pants or 15 tops for work, lol…

this closet is very small so anything I can do to make room will be very helpful;-)…

I packed up twenty pieces and then reorganized the space they opened up…

yay for me;-)…

seemed like a busy day around the house…

up early and worked on a newsletter with a program I am still learning so it took a lot of brainpower, lol…

my handy person stopped by to check out the front door… he is coming back tomorrow with some weatherstripping which should fix the draft… and he is going to pick up some birdseed for me… yay…

a bit later Lyndsay, from Modern Plate Catering, dropped off supper for tonight – and tomorrow – which will be warmed in the oven… very happy about the fact that they deliver as I am without a vehicle or my personal shopper…

I also figured how to keep the lumbar pillow I am using in the den from falling down every time I get up… I came across it when I did some deep closet cleaning…

phew;-)…

got close up and cozy with the fridge freezer this morning… my technique is to use my bathroom stool to sit in front of the fridge while the freezer door is open…

was chilly work, but put like things together and in containers… was a bit surprised with how many little freezer packs I have ;-)…

pleased with the outcome and hopeful that I will remember what went into each of the containers, lol…

I was still in bed when the doorbell rang…

ran downstairs to find Travis and Wayne from Bresara Window Cleaning here to clean the eavestroughs…

they were getting an early start on this beautiful day… they had cancelled a few weeks ago when the weather turned and everything was frozen, so they were going all out to get their appointments caught up…

they did a great job and now the loose eavestrough is connected so I won’t have to worry that it will fall into the hot tub when I’m in it;-)…

apparently, in the spring, we will have to replace a downspout which has cracked…

maybe there won’t be so many icicles over the hot tub this winter…

and while they were working on my eavestroughs, my neighbour had his ladders up and was installing his Christmas lights on his eavestroughs…

it has been below zero for a number of days and I had not remembered to empty the rain barrel… a lot of water had frozen in it and it was too heavy for me to flip it…

today, the temperature went to double digits and I just went out and opened the tap… and the water is running freely…

tomorrow, when it is empty I will turn it over for the winter;-)…

saved by the warm weather…

I’ve been thinking of a friend’s mother who used fur coats as draft stoppers… she had numerous fur coats and it just seemed like the funniest thing to me, although even in those days people were no longer wearing fur, so it was a good use of the coats, lol…

there is a vertical space along the bottom of my front door and I have been trying to figure out what needs to be done to fix it…

my handiperson is supposed to be coming before too long to check it out, but as I sit reading in the living room there is quite a cold draft across the floor…

this afternoon I took one of my winter coats and hung it on the doorknob and I think it is stopping the cold air;-)… or at least slowing it down…

too funny, lol…

yesterday a friend dropped off a purple parcel for me…

in it were two packages… the first was wrapped in foil and was filled with five beautiful scones… still warm from the oven…

the second was also wrapped, but in purple paper… in it was a lovely tea mug with a strainer…

I barely unwrapped the scones before I buttered one, put jam on it and scoffed it down…

the mug is clean now and ready for some loose tea;-)…

repurpose…

spent the afternoon reading in the living room and decided to move the avocado plant and orchids that have been in the window…

they have grown enough that they block my view of the bird feeders… I anticipate spending a lot of time watching the birds over the next six months…

I’m planning to repurpose the dining room table as a bit of a garden for the next while… not going to be having anyone over to eat there, lol…
