So many lovely responses!!! Thank you. I took the day and walked in the sun and had some good conversation with my DH. We went out to breakfast after getting some immunization updates and then went to get groceries. That is nearly not true as we bought almost no food. Primarily, we restocked toiletries and paper products. I think the only food we bought was butter (good sale) orange juice (better sale) and loss leader coffee and Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I am caught up on toothbrushes (we tossed ours after the stomach oozies), shampoo, band aids, laundry soap, dish soap and deodorant.
Bruce and I talked a lot about the future of our garden and orchard. There is so much to consider. The role of permaculture and location and varieties and community.
I finally got to my closets and drawers this afternoon. It feels fabulous to have my clothes organized and repaired. tomorrow, I do a quick run through and the whole downstairs is good to go. At times like that, I do so wish I could make everybody go to a hotel for a few days so it would stay that way for more than ten minutes.

I envy women who can keep a perfect house and not have anyone mess it up. No matter how good my intentions, my house just plain looks lived in!
I’m glad you had a good day with hubby. We just did the first aid up grades. This is fun, hearing you go through your house! It challenges some of us to do the same.

I’m with you Herbalpagan…. When I clean the house it gets dirty in 10 seconds flat. It doesn’t help having 2 polar bears (maremmas) for dogs who seem to shed a thick layer of white fluff everywhere they go! I suppose we could see this as an extra layer of insulation. We have visitors coming this weekend – always a good (?) incentive to do some cleaning!
