I know I've been pretty quiet over here. I've been busy spring cleaning. We had to dig up all our Canna lilies, that's all 24 of our Canna lilies! They are loving where they are, so much that they decided to keep on growing, moving into our yard. They are now in pots and we're hoping that will keep them contained a little better. The plan going forward is to thin them out each year, removing old roots, and watching them grow some more!
In addition to gardening, I also washed all the windows inside our house, plus the outside of all the downstairs windows. Les will do the outside of the upstairs. The windows were in desperate need - we spent two years redoing our landscaping so there was a lot of dust, dirt and grime.
Les has other things on his list. That includes replacing all the handles on our showers. The insides were corroded and we had trouble turning the water on. They are working great now!
Yesterday I started in on my kitchen. I took everything out of every drawer and cupboard. My dining room table is now covered with things ready for Goodwill. Does anyone really need three crock pots? I'm getting rid of glasses and vases, along with a lot of miscellaneous pots and pans. I also put any expired food in the trash. I really don't like doing that, but when I say "expired" I'm talking expired in 2003! Yes, it was past time.
I have to say, it's hard work but so satisfying!
