We are settling nicely into routines over here. There is something nice about that. Although I'm sure I could manage the carefree days of summer year round;) Most activities have started up again and we're right back at (or about to be back at) Bible Studies, Sunday School, piano lessons, and meetings. It's good. I also been motivated to get things in order in my house - things that haven't been done for a while because there was just never enough time. Things like Spring Cleaning. This too is good and so far its been fun. As long as I stay motivated, it should be good - a little bit every week. I got all my windows and screens washed this week (twice in one year!!! I think that's a record!), so that felt really good. Then there is a cupboard here and a drawer there so far that I've been tackling. The big job will be my bedroom closet. It needs some serious decluttering. (So I can fill it back up again!) One of the joys of living in a small home is making use of every nook and cranny and using those nooks and crannies to their very fullest. When I think there is no better use of space, I always seem to come up with just one more idea. (Maybe I should just stop filling my house up, but then I'd have to give up my second hand shopping addiction:))
Anyhow, that is my late night ramble for now. And now here are some leftover summer pictures that never made it into posts:

I think the cleaning and decluttering bug has bit alot of people lately :) It's such a good feeling to get things neat and tidy! I'm ashamed to say that I didn't do any spring cleaning this year and am now doing attemping to do some now... we'll just say I'm getting an early jump on next year :)
