this morning I picked the peas from the side garden;-)…
had to use the step stool to get the higher ones and my housemate picked the last couple that I couldn’t reach…
I spent a lovely fifteen minutes shelling them…
then boiled and ate them for lunch…
yum, what a treat;-)…

I’ve been wanting to change the drapes in the den for a while now…
I brought down the ones I wanted from upstairs and went to fetch the step-stool, that was currently in the basement, to get the job done…
my housemate noticed what I was doing and came upstairs…
he, very cleverly, took the rod off off the wall to add the new pieces… they are much lighter and go over the light blocking ones currently hanging there…
I was planning on struggling with them while they were still up on the wall..
how brilliant was he;-)…

had a bit of fun tidying up the corner cupboard…
had to get out the step stool to reach the top shelf…
didn’t take too long and reminded me of how much tea I have up there, yikes…
now it is organized nicely, with the items I use least located on the top shelf…
happy that I got one of my little projects completed;-)..

today, I wore those big girl pants again…
it started late yesterday when the light blew in the den… I went and got the kitchen step stool, but when I stood on the second step it made me too nervous to take down the cover…
after I thought about it for awhile, I decided the small ladder from the garage would work, so I had my grandson put it beside the back door while he was here shovelling… I brought it in and left it to warm up, as it is metal and it was very cold out today…
finally, I climbed up, changed the bulb, and returned the ladder to the back door… tomorrow will be warmer so I will return it to its spot in the garage…
I am having to figure out how to do more things as I am not having anyone in the house these days… looking forward to the time when people can come and do jobs for me…
