Housework Tips to Get You Back Out in the Garden Faster ???
Comments (26)Gil...I'm SOOO offended!! *snort* I guess I'll forgive you though...those lilies and all... LOL ;o) Flylady reminds me of my DM...I couldn't count the number of times my mother has said to me "a place for everything and everything in it's place" (Of course their 100+ year old house has a full basement, a walk in closet in every bedroom, large coat closet, pantry, double the kitchen cabinets...etc...) Again I say *snort*! Maybe if I sold everything...our three bedroom house has a half basement and one...count it...one closet (it's only 1' deep and 2.5' wide...) No broom closet...no coat closet...no closet in the master bedroom...no linen closet...Hmmm wonder what the REAL problem is?? A place for everything?? HA! There...I'm done my rant...I feel better now...where'd that paralizer go?? Ang, I have to agree with you on the shoe thing though...the only person wearing shoes in my house will be my 85 year old Grandma, who needs her orthotics, as well as the traction! I do like the idea of daily reminders of which tasks to target to keep the whole place clean though...takes the brain work out of it...I'd rather save that for my garden. I'm in the habit of vacuuming everyday, mopping once a week...but everything else just tends to slide until it HAS to be done...like every last dish in the house is dirty and "Hey Dear...looks like we'll be doing hot dogs on the fire tonight..."LOL Verena Whose sink is still shining... ;-)...See MoreTips for Clearing out a Vine Infestation
Comments (54)Thanks everyone. :o) Barb, I had the same thought. There's more to tackle on the property but that was the biggest and worst of it. It's good to have it at this stage. And actually, my boyfriend was outside the other day (between mulch batches). A neighbor stopped on her way while strollering with her grandchild just to compliment us on all our hard work. Cheers, Kate. LOL I have to wait to plant anything. The bed has to bake a while. there's so much woody debris in the soil from the roots, stems and all the nonsense that came out. We'll see what it's like after the rains of the summer. Guaranteed though that the azalea will NEVER get like it was in that first pic. I'm thinking some smaller ornamental grasses or something around the border. I have the summer to do some research though. Linda, thanks so much. :o) I look out from the porch and it's like a full body sigh of relief seeing it at this point. I drive up the street coming home and I feel like giggling not to have to contend with that vine et al anymore. There's still 2-3 cubic yards of mulch that needs to be spread but it looks 1800 times better at this point that I just had to share! :o)...See MoreGetting furrniture marks out of berber carpet?
Comments (6)steam is actually the best. If you have a hand steamer use that. Ice does help but you need to fluff up the yarn. Lots of berber is made from olefin which isn't as resilient as nylons....See Moreshould I replace the upstairs hallway pictures with the children’s bla
Comments (16)The frames are too small and too close together. If you want to fill that space with family photos then I would pick three special pictures, get three large black frames, use a large section of white matting around them, and hang them in a row on that wall. I just think the days of the gallery walls of mismatched frames is long over....See MoreL Langlois
