While the days tick by waiting for my new domain to be set up, I turn my attention to spring pursuits. Before it gets too hot, I really should do some major reorganizing in my house.
Even though we live in Alaska, the long daylight hours cause my house to become like a sauna by the end of May. I have a small air conditioner in my bedroom, but I can't stay in there all the time.
I tend to collect things.
- tins
- baskets
- clocks
- spoons
- tea cups
- books
- maps
- dolls
- music boxes
- recordings
- news clippings for my columns and webpage diary
- old journals
- letters and greeting cards
- family memorabilia
- my children's school drawings and homework
- awards, certificates, and trophies
- tapes, CDs, and movies
Then there are the projects- half-built bookcase
- scrapbooks
- photo albums and unfiled photos
- needlework
- sewing
- unfinished afghans and baby gifts
If I put my collections in the garage or a storage shed, I'd be afraid that moisture would ruin the fabric, paper or wood.
I would like simplicity and order in my life, but on the other hand, I don't want to give up my treasures.
