BYC Café

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee and fritatta.

What a PITA!

Been there, done that with Carolina wrens who like to overnight in the wreath or hanging ornamental Christmas baskets.

We just can't throw anything away that isn't falling apart (and probably a lot of stuff that should have been thrown out long ago

Luckily, we overcame this situation a few years ago and rigorously started to get rid of the accumulations.
No more " this will come in handy one day" or "soandso gifted it to us and although it is ugly and of no use we have to keep it".

Reclaiming our space and just keeping what we really like, use and need is very liberating. It also somehow feels like letting the past go and rather focussing on the present and near future which lifts the spirit.

We are still at it and it feels great.

I'm glad you are having success with down sizing.

I'm trying to do the same thing and I'll tell you it is not an easy job.

I had to get rid of my Aunt's stuff, my Dad's stuff and my Mom's stuff. I just can't do more right now.

Yes, it is not easy and one has to be aware that some days it will just not work at all as one can get lost down memory lane or feel overwhelmed.
But on other days it is very easy to let go of all the old stuff, lots of it not even your own but inherited or left by family members long gone.

We really need to get rid of a bunch of stuff that we moved here 29 years ago and haven't touched since. Yeah, really.

Nice rain showers this afternoon.....the weatherthespians say flood warnings tonight.

Have a bunch of spruce boughs hanging inside my front door for 4-5 years.
Surprising they haven't shed at all.

Told my daughter, just keep hiring dumpsters until house and sheds are empty.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Up at 4 this morning. Finished applying privacy film to my master bathroom window.
Ran out of caulk for the shower stall with only about 2 feet to go.
