Hi friends and fellow bloggers,
Happy Friday to everyone. I hope you are all doing fine and have your plans made for the weekend.
I intend to continue with the small house tasks such as painting in the bathroom and a small area in the living room. I'm not sure if I'll actually get to the bathroom part since I need to go to the store and get the paint first. I already have the paint to use in the front room. I also need to go out to shop for a few plants and things. Nothing major since I'm only buying 'essentials' but it all takes time nonetheless. I spent a few hours this week comparison shopping on line for the best deals for my needs. I let things sit in the 'cart' for a few days before purchasing. This helps me pause to consider the cost and whether it is something I really want or need otherwise it only adds to future clutter. Next up I'll be going through the CDs and DVDs a few odds and ends from the kitchen cabinets to see what else I can give away. I also have to go through more papers and journals which will go in the garbage after shredding.
The best news is today a lot of my giveaways will be picked up. I've got 4 bags of stuff ready to go and one lady is picking up 3 bags of kitchen stuff for a refugee family. A gent will be picking up the 5th bag which contains a juicer which hadn't been used very much an dis just collecting dust.
I haven't been getting out at the right time to get a photo to share. So I took these 2 photos this morning around 5:40 a.m. I'm noticing the morning light is not as bright so early these days. I'm sure you've probably noticed it too if you are in summer season right now. I'm hoping to enjoy a few days here and there outdoors before summer ends. But DH has to work the late shift this month so that puts a damper on what we can do and when.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend!
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I love the soft light in your early morning photos.
The light is beautiful there. I dislike the shrinking days, the coming of autumn, the inevitability of snow. But I also make my carts my wish lists. It's fun, sort of, to sort through the bloated lists once in awhile and wonder what I was thinking on the day that I thought I needed one thing or another.
I wish I could get rid of stuff around here so easily.
Hi Red, it really hasn't been that easy for me to get rid of things because I was taught to save things for the proverbial rainy day. But as I go through my things 2, 3 or even 4 times, I find I am able to more critically examine what I'm keeping. I'm very happy that people have come by to pick things up. I advertise on Freecycle's local chapter and it works very well most of the time. I just meet everyone downstairs so they don't come in.
Thanks so much!
It seems we both love the morning light and filling carts with our wish lists :-)
Pretty sky shot and a lovely garden!
I love your sky shot from the garden. I applaud your downsizing things -- it's something I put off and need to do more regularly!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Jeanie. I'm really on a roll right now with the downsizing and the many small household repairs. I'm trying to get it all done soonest. At least I'll make a good go of it.
