I can’t tell you how glad I was to read that I am not the only one that is a winter bla-grey day mode or mood! Sounds like we are all feeling the lack of extra daylight, and our winter urges to slow down..
Well, I have to admit that the day itself was just as grey, just as wet and cold, and in no way helping my winter bla’s, however as my evening is starting to wind down, I can at least say that I got a number of my extra things done..
I am hanging my head in shame at just how bad my laundry room got, but I took the before picture, I figured putting up only the after was kinda cheating..
What a mess, dirty cloths on the floor, clean cloths not folded, and even clean cloths folded but not put away, a full bag of canvas shopping bags that needed to washed and lets not even ask how that big wash up sink got that bad (DH?)
Needless to say, I got the summer wear sorted and put up for the season, I got all the winter cloths out of storage, and washed them up fresh and got the rest put away, the floor washed, the sink cleaned out, and the machines wiped down.. Much Better!
I got seven pints of roma beans in a soup broth done, and seven pints of chicken Veggie Barley soup..
Even in the this drizzling rain, I got six more wheelbarrol loads of compost out in the garden and dumped, will spread it tomorrow.. That’s it for the moment, and tomorrow is a new day! How did everyone else do, did you get started on anything or was it make a list or planning day?



It was bright and sunny here, so I had little excuse for being a bit bla. Managed to take a bunch of stuff to the thrift store and come back with less than I took! Got an unused popcorn maker, which I will transform into a hamper of maker, seasonings and corn for the kids at christmas and a jar of very lovely, mostly vintage buttons. Have done some cleaning here, but it gets messy again fast. Wanted to mop the floors, but the kids and the dogs are in now, so no point. At least they got brushed! On wards and upwards.
Yup, been on brushing detail around here myself, the popcorn maker set up sounds lovely, and I love jars of buttons, they are so awesome! Enjoy that sunshine! and send some our way, we could use it..
You did all that in one afternoon? Rock on Farmgal! 🙂
I got all the leeks done, the kale picked and the dehydrator loaded up. Not much but I’m happy I got through those leeks.
One afternoon, I wish, it took all day on top of regular chores, and my living room looked like it has a clothing explostion going on in it for a few hours, piles here and piles there, items checked to see if any repairs needed etc.. but thanfully that major amount of that is done and put away. I’m washing bedding today, as a cleaning in the bedroom is on the list.
Ps, Congrats on getting the leeks done and the dehydrator all loaded up!
