so happy when a tidying streak continues, lol…

spent some time in the front door area sorting through bins and baskets…

filled another box with pass-alongs without any difficulty… including purses and bags…

all of the gloves went into one of the Ikea bins which will make them much handier and easier to find…

one basket holds all the hats, a second one all of the bags (some of which had been hanging from the coatrack taking up space), the third one holds all of the bottles and sprayers for critters and fancy shoe cleaners, and the last one holds binoculars and extra tape measures…

much more organized and easier to see which one holds which items…

just noticed how many purple things there are, lol…

persevered…

finished up the project in the garage Wednesday evening…

I spent some time earlier in the day, moving as many boards as I could out of the way so the table was usable for sawing, lol…

it was rather chilly out there, but we persevered and finished the new shelves…

then we spent time organizing all the shelves along that wall…

in the end it looks very tidy… wonder how long it will stay that way…

on a roll, “we” then moved a few items from the garage and all of the lawn furniture into the shed…

the garden will look much nicer over the winter without all the furniture covered in a big tarp on the back deck…

suppose…

arrived home yesterday to a cupboard cleaning frenzy…

everything had been removed from two cupboards and partially put back…

not necessarily the way I would like…

as I look at the result, it occurs to me that we use a great number of different items that I used previously, lol…

reminded me of when my beloved was off of work and doing most of the cooking… he had some bizarre idea that things should be organized the way he liked 😳…

considering that my housemate has been here for just over a year, I suppose he should have a say in how things are organized, but still🤔…

and then we dealt with the pantry together…

outcome…

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…

a few days ago I cooked chicken thighs from frozen (just took thirty minutes) and then white rice in the Instant Pot… both came out nicely…

had a lovely dinner and visit with a dear friend… good to catch up…

was laughing to myself because I completely forgot to take a picture of my plate as supper was later than expected…

earlier in the day I tidied two drawers in the dining room…

hope this desire for tidying and reorganizing continues…

bright spots in my day…

I took a few photos of the flowers that a colleague brought me yesterday from the Farmers Market... a lovely treat… particularly love delphiniums and calla lilies…

brought them home with me…

a colleague got this beautiful rose in such a sweet vase today… had to take a picture…

my gardener grandson came by to do some yard work… when it was raining he did some organizing in the basement…

some say he looks like George and today he reminded me of him as he came in a few times with injuries and needed a bandage… 

laughed because the bandaid package has lasted much longer without my beloved being around… he always had a bandaid somewhere on his body, lol… 

so many special moments in the day…

on the weekend I bought some bowls, and containers for organizing…

the bowls were too big to fit in the space I had planned, so I had to reorganize the whole cupboard so that they could fit… of course, once you move one thing, you end up moving everything…

20140526-215409-78849856.jpgeventually I got that sorted out and then moved on to the bathroom… only bought one of each of the containers because I wanted to be sure they would work… had I picked up two or three of each they wouldn’t have, lol…

20140526-215609-78969253.jpgonce I go back and get a few more containers, will be able to finish the job… not mentioning that this space had needed to be organized from the time George finished the bathroom, four or five years ago, lol…

always so happy when some organizing has taken place…
