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...

Happy Birthday...

Johnny Depp...
is another year better...
for all you Depp fans...
