A couple of weeks ago while watching TV with S, I got the idea to do a terrarium (or two). I started looking for all kinds of different bottles and jars to use. Every piece of glass suddenly became a candidate for a terrarium. I searched every nook and cranny of the house and garage. I dove into the web looking for examples and tutorials.
I just love SPRING in Florida! I enjoyed a nice sunny day taking these pictures of my back yard.
Growing up in Utah, spring meant that the snow was finally melting and the cold weather was being replaced by warmer soon-to-be shorts weather. My favorite season was summer. I have always been a fun-in-the-sun sort, and couldn’t wait to be able to wear shorts and sandals.
S & I decided to do some landscaping over the weekend. We had this “problem” area between our sidewalk and the outside wall of the garage leading up to our front door. I had planted a climbing shell plant vine with a trellis when we first moved in. It grows aggressively and S did not like the way it likes to take over everything including the sidewalk. After latest freeze killed most of it off, he wanted to remove it completely.
It felt really good to wake up to a spotless clean house!
Yesterday, we had our new cleaning ladies from The Cleaning Authority show up for part one of two major “deep” cleanings of our house. I was very impressed with their work and especially their system for not only doing an entire detail of the house but also their system for keeping that level of maintenance.
At the end of 2008, S and I decided to get serious about moving towards our long term goals. We want to have more freedom and do the things we have only dreamed about. However, we knew there were going to be some huge obstacles in our way. The biggest ones holding us back were our bills and our stuff, AKA: DEBT and CLUTTER. We needed to rid ourselves of both forever.
