Time to move on and let others love the things you can't use anymore. You could also go to farmer's markets and get produce to can or dry. My daughter, a cop in austin, recently arrested 23 senior students who among their stash had mushrooms. I asked her where the kids would get the mushies and she said "they go into the fields and get them out of the patties". See, another job you could do.dindinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244875497233803814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-73535680134329684472012-06-04T08:14:25.734-05:002012-06-04T08:14:25.734-05:00I recently got back into mowing and rediscovered t...I recently got back into mowing and rediscovered the fun of it. For the next couple of days we're getting much-needed rain, and then there will be much-needed mowing :-) I don't mind at all. I know what you mean about planning and observing, too. It's like housecleaning -- you start noticing what is in the way, what needs to be moved, what should be moved OUT.dianefaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229979968118248563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-81589916336469069152012-06-04T07:33:28.982-05:002012-06-04T07:33:28.982-05:00Har !

Maybe it...RMan and 1st Man and their mowers...!<br /><br />Maybe it's time to sort out your storage once and for all. Then you can take what you think you'd like to keep, and upcycle the balance - you never know who might want what you don't need. And you'll score some extra in the bank and not have to pay for the storage anymore at the same time :)<br /><br />Precious memories you have inside - physical items - you either want or don't. Your mom and dad would be the first to understand and give you their blessing as you let their excess possessions go.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-49655855869049332872012-06-03T19:24:00.240-05:002012-06-03T19:24:00.240-05:00It was so good to see you and to meet 2nd man.
