    Oh, it seems we have similar organizing goals! it always feels so much better to start the year off with all the cabinets clean and straightened. So far I've organized the cabinet under the sink and the weird cabinet in our hallway (only way to describe it!), and this morning, I did the towel/medicine closet next to the bathroom. I've tossed, I've recycled, I've combined, it feels good! I'm organizing some of my clothes to go downstairs into the laundry room, so that'll be my next project.

      That's great. I did the junk drawer and it is so neat. I know it won't last but I am happy about it now.

    Yes I have many new goals and I think I have broken every resolution, but I am still working on them.

The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Dirt

Image
At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
