Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering in earnest - September
Stripped our bed, doing the sheets as I type, then the bedspread. Did two loads of clothes and the dishes. A guy Rog works with told us to come get peaches out of his little orchard as they are just dropping off...they can't use any more. So we got about a half bushel, yesterday, and will go back for more. Rog picked them...he got quite a few sort of green ones. So, I washed them all, we have the greener ones on a pallet to ripen. We gave some to our daughter. I washed and skinned the rest. What I could salvage of them I put in freezer bags. I only got 2.5 bags which didn't seem like much, but it is an organic orchard, or neglected, so they are kind of small and a lot of bruising, so I had to cut out a lot. Anyway, it felt GREAT to put them up.

Then I got Rog to go do a tiny bit of weed whacking...it got too hot and he's tired. So, as it is cool in the house, I got him to help me clean a bit of clutter out of the closet. Not a lot, but it looks lots neater!!

So, while the house looks the same, which I don't like, we did get some things done.
