Just seems like yesterday...
... Lew was getting Mockingbird ready to go in for the season. Now, the Boat is out of the water, the Cottage is asleep, for the time being, and...
...the Garage is the main event. Getting the snow blower in place means a major decluttering. This is an annual Winter prep happening...getting the garage to a state where two vehicles and a snow blower can be housed...a challenge at best!
I want to decorate for the Holidays...but first one has to get outdoor things stowed for the Winter...and then come inside to undecorate/dedecorate (what is the word?) divest (?) so there is room for the Winter decorations...so a good cup of coffee comes in handy!
Yes, I said Winter decorations...it could be a holdover from my teaching days that is, decorating by season...the Winter lasts so long, the days are so short, and the cold wears on a person so...I tend to turn to light reflecting, glistening items that can stay out til at least Valentine's Day. How do you manage to get through...decorating...the Winter...What works for you? Share your ideas in the comment section below!
Best Wishes toward keeping the Meaning of the Season in mind...
