Good morning, everyone!!!
One would think if you're not staying at your house it wouldn't need a good cleaning. WRONG!!!
Oh my word, let me just say I spent all day yesterday after a trip to town working on reorganizing just one room of this house, and yes, I'm still in the process of finishing that ONE room. Lordy, the cobwebs looked like Samhain decorations for sure.
One of the granddaughters came over and helped me put together a shelf unit to help me better organize all my countertop appliances. The last few bolts we realized we had a power tool sitting there which would have made the whole thing move along a great deal faster, but of course that wasn't even thought of until we were already two hours into it.
I still need to get back out to my sister's and help get the rest of the tomatoes done. I still have some dehydrating to get done. And then it's time to get started on apples. But I couldn't look at this disorganization one more day, so that is my focus for these days off this week. I'm almost done with the kitchen. Which is my main focus this week for certain.
I left my counters covered in items that still need new homes. So, cleaning out the cabinets today is top priority. Then hanging my new pan rack so I can get the decorative pans hung. Decobwebbing the house and then the floors. Then maybe I'll feel a bit better. I still need to stain the new cabinets as well, which have been ready for me to stain since the beginning of August.
Yeah, I'm a bit behind on my tasks, but when canning season is here my focus isn't on this place as much seeing as I'm not staying here that much. Then of course while I am canning I think of all these things I can do to make my kitchen better accessible for the things I need to do, LOL.
My motto during this time of year is, "They'll be time for everything when the canning is done." I remind myself of this as we're neck deep in our latest adventure. Something I wouldn't trade for the world :) Because frankly, life's too short to always be isolated from the things you enjoy doing.
So wish me luck today as I venture back into that kitchen and finish getting things done, so I can get back to work this weekend and enjoying the wonderful company of my sister.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
