Knitting Dragonflies

Spring is here, along with the rain, I have begun my traditional spring cleaning/organization quest. In addition to that, I’m working on a baby and a wedding present. Both handmade. Can’t blog about those right now. So I’ll have to be happy with sharing my eternal hope that I can become the organized person with a simplified life and house. Always looking for a successful system to try, the few things that I have kept from various organizational/shows/books etc.…. When my home is not organized, neither is my life, the most chaos I have, the more I need to get organized. 1-OK, not in the mood, just call up a Hoarders episode, 5 min in top, I started tossing things. This is one of the scariest shows I have ever seen. (it also makes anyone feel tremendously in control of things, no matter how messy your house it) 2)-Use the 3 box/bag system, toss, donate and put away. I also like the “can’t get rid of it yet box”, have something you know you need to get rid of my can’t, stick it in

Sometimes you just need some cuteness! This is a baby Penguin “Cookie” from the Cincinnati Zoo and it’s handler! Smile today!

Oh Yes we sure do! (“This is definitely a Top 10 event, if not a Top 5 event in many places,” ) according to the paper. When did we start calling weather an “event”? We have had several small power outages and some backup of water. My husband and I have trenched around our house. We are calling ourselves honorary civil engineers, ha! (Not my house, thank goodness) Weather service: 'Catastrophic flash flooding possible' , see article Schools and business's are closed due to flooded streets. People are sandbagging and the national guard is here. More raining coming up to 9 inches for some areas. Steve bought an extra sump pump, in case this one goes out, why do things always stop working when you really need them? Keep your feet dry and your hands knitting! I’m inside, cleaning the house and hoping to get some knitting done.
