100 things challenge number 7 out the door. Woohoo! I delivered a trunk full to the goodwill truck, today (and took a truck load to the dump, last week, this includes regular garbage also). I have a few big pieces for my son to take to the Habitat for Humanity store that sells construction leftovers (the profits support the building of houses for low income families).
You would think that everything is pretty much gone! NOT. We have here an accumulation of STUFF over many years. And I'm not counting everything individually, for instance a stack of papers as one count, every 2-3 magazines as 1 count. Some things I am not currently using but can't let go are quart canning jars and gardening equipment. I have 2 bench seats from a van we sold, a desk, a chest of drawers (tall), a bulky bedroom vanity and a lowboy. All in the basement taking up more room than I realize because of not really "seeing" them. They need to go and I need to decide if they have any value because furniture is good to have for a garage sale. I am keeping another desk; it is delicate, a ladies desk and it was my grandmothers. We also have an old tube radio from the 30's maybe and I don't really want it anymore but hubby has to be in on that decision!
What you don't know is that the daylight basement is huge with the single garage in it (no walls to separate it from the basement. This house was built in 1939.
Spring is calling! For over a week the song birds have found their voices and are multiplying. I noticed the grass in the field is 6 inches high and sparkling green, the crocuses are blooming (my most favorite spring flower). The morning sun is warm and inviting and a few sunsets havebeen colorful. I love the rebirth of spring!
