Having just spent the morning up to my knees in grass and boggy areas, planting about 25 trees - then hosing down my boots, changing my trousers, washing mud off gloves - I thought "this is spring!"

Spring for me is getting totally ... um... tired! Tired doing all the jobs that need doing now! Oh I like doing them - the sowing of seeds, the planting of trees, the clearing up after the winter storms - but the frustrations soon come when I also need to do some window painting - when I want to be beachcombing!

I found the wheelbarrow tucked under some bushes. It had been blown there in 100mph winds in January - and I hadn't turfed it out of its hiding place. Have done so now, so now 'we' have to clean it up ready for summer use. :)

Nothing special in the taking of the picture (see exif), although because I didn't want to raise the ISO, I had to pretend I was target shooting and just squeeze the button. Just a boost in contrast and a cool filter post processing.

The tyre says not to be used over 10km/hr! I wonder what would happen if I ran really fast with it? Hmm!

Happy Spring to you all. May your days be filled with sunshine - enough to do all those jobs that must be done. :o)

Green Clean Day at the Ross School of Business on Friday May 19, 2013 on a beautiful day in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.

A sampling of the swatches that I pulled down off the wall - each represents a design project either past or in progress or on the back burner!

This isn't actually a walk in closet. It's a three and a half foot long hallway to the ensuite bathroom. There was a bifold door and pair of sliding doors, I ripped those suckers down.

Red Bear found a nifty little house, just her size, today while she was out exploring. It was very dirty though. Of course, the price was good--it seems to be free!

A weekends worth of work! A major achievment that you can finally see the floor once again.

 

No artistic value here - just a simple placeholder to chart my progress.

 

(Of course you dont see the mountain of stuff BEHIND the camera :) )

 

Coat Rack: Dumping a coat, sweater, or scarf here and there on the couch or across a chair isn’t the solution…try out one of our modern coat hangers and you’ll discover that not only is it a practical and convenient solution, but its sculptural design offers an element of style too!

Bees Spring cleaning - Elvir with a DB frame (larger than a LF frame).

In late April, attending to the Beehives to check the cleanliness and see if the bees have enough wax to lay brood (new eggs for new workers).......

Some hives are performing so well they have quickly run out of space and present a chance for swarming - so to avoid that happening (its ok but only under controlled circumstances) we add a top box with new wax frames.

June 4, 2020 - Me Restringing all four of my Violin Strings at Home tonight, and removing the old Violin String! Time for some Spring Cleaning and Spring Restringing!

happy leap day, everybody!

Ceiling fans first ... then the floors ... and Maz can do the cupboards ...

Sarah J. helped to get some of the items displayed on the tables, so the treasure hunters had an easier time finding their loot. Thanks Sarah!

it's spring cleaning time so i'm having a yard sale!

Well I'm still here even if I haven't posted a photo on Flickr in weeks. I'm still taking photos. Yeah, I have very little time to relax let alone take, edit and post photos. I apologize to all my wonderful Flickr friends I've meet in the last couple years.

I want to do better.

 

To recap the last few weeks:

 

~my boyfriend packed up all that he could fit into his car to follow his career dream. No more daily grind for "The Man" in an office job. Heading up the Pacific Northwest coast for 2 weeks visiting friends, traveling, eating, blogging. Then 3 months in Europe (mostly France) to reinvest in his passion to write, check stocks/bonds-for learning curve he says, and be his own boss.

 

I miss him, wish him well in his dream, am extremely proud and jealous of him. I can't wait to see him again this summer.

 

~I'm looking for a new place to live. To find a new apartment and new roommate(s). Stressing out of being alone w/out my rock boyfriend, truely living by myself independent w/ little cash or resources is both frightening and exhilarating new at the same time.

 

~Countdown is coming soon this month. Looking for a new place/roommate is like going on blind dates and multiple job interviews all at the same time. "but why don't they like me?" I feel like Goldilocks where nothing is just right.

 

~Rightfully so, my work at a non-profit for kids is suffering. I'm exhausted with long hours (damn you time change!), meeting with school parents/staff members, training new co-workers, and interviewing for a promotion. Then next month I'm off for a training conference.

 

So please excuse me if I don't post often. I know I said months back I would keeping going. I want to continue to meet many of you in meet-ups this summer.

 

I KNOW I will be fine. Hormones go up and down. Good days and bad. Mostly good ones! I'm so happy and excited for newness in my life. I can't wait to share them as they come along.

...look ma, no shoes!! For the first time all winter, the shoes and boots are not cluttering up the foyer. Of course, the closet floor is covered with them but hey, out of sight, out of mind, right?

Early Spring cleaning!

Chucking 2 whole book shelves of books and magazines and one closet of collectibles. Almost 20 of collecting gone in a night.

Nicht nur zu hause findet man beim Putzen die ein oder andere Kuriosität!

Wenn ich nur wüsste wozu man Ausziehtusche braucht ;-))

Part II of spring cleaning / organizing effort. Still work in progress.

During our spring break, we did a big apartment cleaning. We took everything out of the refrigerator and freezer, cleaned it inside and out, and then put everything back. I'm happiest when everything is organized!

The dishes have decided that since it is now offically spring, they needed to start their spring cleaning. Such sweet little creatures they are :)
