After reading the posts about spiffing up your porch, I spent some time today cleaning mine. Brushing it down, scrubbing off flower petals that had stuck to the wood, and removing those ever present spider webs! I had purchased a new front door mat at the Goodwill a few weeks ago, and it has cheered up that space. I washed and rotated the older mat to the back patio door, the strong sun and dog paws will probably finish it off before the end of the Fall season. Will have to keep my eyes open for a replacement for next Spring! Have a great week!Annehttp://www.midlifemoneytree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-51261952804956299272016-08-29T17:02:58.483-04:002016-08-29T17:02:58.483-04:00In my email from Ann Voskamp today.

I continue to declutter...is there an end??? No....<br />I continue to declutter...is there an end??? No. but a lot has gone and more going. Although our seasons here are not so pronounced we do feel them. I raked the first trash can of leaves from our main tree. Now to get them in the compost pile. I am sure another raking will be needed soon again.<br /> <br />We got peaches from two places this week. I wonder if these are the last of ours here? <br /><br />The summer garden is dwindling down It did not do too good this year. I will be clearing out more of it this week and spreading compost and such getting ready for a fall garden. <br /><br />I stopped several magazine subscriptions this year. I love the magazines but tend to not want to get rid of any. That is not good! :-) Until I have the clutter under control I will not get any nee ones. I was using the treat of perhaps buying some vintage ones then as an incentive to keep working! lol <br /><br />So soon it will be time to roast the Thanksgiving turkey then get the decorations up for Christmas. For now just knowing the schools have started their football season is enough. The games are wonderful.

If we go I will think of you when we stop at The Oasis in south Georgia for gas and Starbucks! Whether we travel or not it may be a washout rainy weekend over Labor Day. We need to put a coat of sealer on the deck but that requires somewhat dry weather. If we don't go we may just have a Staycation!<br /><br />Our garage refrigerator is either dead or just needed to thaw out. My Dad, who was an appliance repairman when I was little, said it should be fine after being off for 24 hours. We had to move everything out of there to the deep freeze and inside fridge yesterday. This turned up freezer meals that needed to be eaten this week. So, very little cooking for me. It is turned back on tonight so we will see.<br /><br />On Thursday nights the library on the most northern part of our county will be having a free concert series on the lawn on Thursday evenings all the month of September. It is a lovely ride up there with the mountains in view and the music is always a treat. I reminded hubby that by the end of the month it is always chilly sitting out there for the music. <br /><br />I put the moving boxes on a Facebook group and they were picked up today so we are settling down here for the fall and winter. It is a relief!<br /><br />I'm glad you got to see your Katie and granddaughter. I bet the drive is wonderful!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
