less is more...

have you ever gotten tired of something?

well, I did...

too much stuff...

and so the day began buy boxing it all up...

can you believe that there were 3 boxes worth of stuff in this small space?

I have a ledge on top of my cabinets here in the kitchen...

and these 3 bowls have been sitting up there for 9 years or more...

not being used...

collecting dust, and let me tell you...

it was a lot of dust and grease...

so now they are being used and are prettier than what I had before...

and when the walls were all washed...

and everything wiped down...

I started again...

I picked only what I really liked...

and it's still a bit over the top...

and I will have to eliminate more later...

but it's a start...

how do we get so much stuff?

where does it all come from?

but it's all clean...

and different...

not real...

and I used my 3 roosters that have been boxed up for years...

and it's all because I wanted to see out my kitchen windows at the trees and flowers...

and I will take more photos to show some really fun things later...

but it wore me out...

in a good way...

I am able to do so much more every month...

and it is so nice to be able to do things myself...

I really had a great day...

and I so enjoyed doing it with Craig...

he worked so hard for me...

and did a great job getting the high places...

and the very low ones...

I am saving to do the kitchen...

same pale sage green in the living room and white bead board on the walls...

painting the kitchen cabinets an off white...

it's not a lot...

but will change it completely...

no rain yet- another 90+ day...

same thing tomorrow...

then it will cool down...

can't wait...

enjoy your evening...
