Boxes and Boxes



Oh do we have boxes...empty ones, filled ones, old ones, new ones, recyled ones... and why do we need all that stuff that is bound for the boxes? I don't really know but we must... and I have to confess I think I have more books than Gene does. Of course mine are quilting and cooking, his are gardening and history. So together we need all of them!! Making slow progress on packing... trouble is - when you fill the box with stuff you have to find room for the box.... so check out the pcitures of our kitchen and living room - I won't even show you the garage...actually it's probably more organized than this house.

Since I've packed all my cookbooks, I figure I won't have to cook until I unpack them!! But the recipe box, and take-out, are still active... so that idea won't work.

The sewing room is all packed...and I've managed to get the lovely wallpaper border off the wall..except for a few little spots that I can't reach because ... there are boxes against that wall.!! But I'll get 'er done.

Advice to all: Start cleaning out your closets and other spaces now...before you need to do so...even if you think you're not moving...but especially if you are planning on moving...and for those of you who have kids... yeah, just let them clean out your house when you're gone. :)

I did have a little free time to take some pictures of the last of the tulips that are blooming.. so pretty and serene. Have to admit I am anxious to start doing more photography in New Mexico...the light there is amazing... maybe when I'm on my Women's Wilderness Escape this fall...should be lots of things to photograph there. Stay tuned for more news on that....
