The bikes have a new home and a good one! The minute the new owner laid eyes on Mark’s 60’s bike, he began to rattle off all of the bike’s fabulous features. Good times ahead for bike and owner.
We have been looking at house plans. Again and again and again. I think it’s time to break out the pencil and paper; list what we must have, need and want and draw-up some plans. It is all overwhelming. Never done this before and sure don’t want to screw it up.
Fall is in the air and the plants are beginning to set seed. Every year, I collect copious amounts of nasturtium, cosmos, scarlet runner bean and marigold seeds. I plant them the next year. This year, I was going to let them play out their game and not collect seeds. I won’t be here next year…maybe. Mark talked me into taking the seeds to Whidbey Island. I balked at first and then realized it would be a great thing to look around at my Colorado flowers in a different setting.
Mark has been cleaning out pantries. He loves his sauces, herbs, seasonings and all. He would have to cook for a crowd to use them all before their expiration dates rolled around. That’s something we’ll have to adjust for in the new place.
I used my last bottle of body wash…ewww. I am going to switch over to bar soap. I got to thinking about recycling on the island and how I could cut down on the amount of consumable packaging in my own home. I recycle all of the plastic bottles here, but I see no reason to rethink my approach. So, plastic containers of body wash; gone.
Gave away a jigsaw puzzle. Put it together and that’s one less thing to take. I love jigsaw puzzles. I may try to put together the ones I currently have and then pass them on. I know where the thrift stores are on the island and I can always buy more puzzles.
Also rethinking the books that remain. Today, I need to choose one to read. It will be interesting to see what I kept. I have a feeling I will be saying, “Really?”.
