FEBRUARY THE SHORT MONTH ENDING

February always seems like the last month of winter. But as all Canadians know March can be as varied with warm and cold weather, rain and snow, wear your boots-wear your runners! For this busy trying to reorganize my life's stuff person, it has been too short. Decluttering and trying to decide what to keep and what to sell, give away, throw away is an arduous job and it seems never ending. Besides I have been questioning myself- why did you save this Barb? As a "crafter" for decades, little things can be reused often. There is a wonderful website- HomeTalk- where people use old stuff and remake new things all the time. Lots of ideas but not for me right now. It is great to see  stuff that gets saved can have a new life. Most of us worry about becoming "hoarders" so filter our stuff often so there are rooms with bare spots and well neatness- if that is a word. I keep a bag of "scraps" and misc items for the grandchildren to use in crafts! So a month with some activity, no flu bug, Adolph recovering well from his January hospital stay, some movies, good eating and some fun and well thinking about working harder inside in March. As all gardeners know April is that devil of a month with the garden calling for cleanup and well work! But for the clutter, yeah some may make it to the curb and save a trip elsewhere. I always like it when I do not have to drag stuff anywhere but the curb! But put your heart into anything and lots of good things happen!
