I have a sudden motivation to pick up around here, and if decluttering happens all the better. A Mudcatter is passing through town later this week so the guest room will be sorted (make the bed, move out a couple of pieces of furniture stashed in there, etc.) I haven't had an overnight guest since my cataract surgery, and that was family. When was the last time someone came over? Certainly pre-COVID. (We have all been vaccinated.)

The potting bench needs to be sorted - I think there is a piece of produce in one of the boxes that has started to decompose. I catch a whiff of it as I walk past, but so far haven't found it. Not a potato, maybe okra?

There is yard work needed also—tomorrow is supposed to reach 100^o but then it will cool into the high 80s for the rest of the week. We're approaching October and sometimes the first frost has been mid-October, though I suspect this year that dip in temperature will hold off to the more typical mid-November.
