Winter??

Has the weather been strange where you are?? I took the kids south for most of January to get out of the deep freeze, but it wasn't a deep freeze here. Its snowing today, a mild annoyance now that we're not used to having it around. It doesn't really feel like winter, more like March or April. These are problems I like to have. :)

Organizing update: still at it. still at it. making more progress than this summer and fall, but still trying to clear stuff out. I AM taking a bag or box to the thrift store almost daily, getting rid of books we don't read, clothes that we don't wear, and stuff we hang on to "just in case". If we haven't needed it in the 5 years we've been in this house, we don't need it.

Challenge for March: Make do, mend and recycle. Rather than buying something new, fix the old thing, or make a new one out of stuff we've already got. Go!
