Not literally, of course! I cleaned out a bunch of shelves today. Three paper shopping bags are full of books to take to the bookstore for used book credit. Another paper bag of books and videos to return to the friends from whom we borrowed them. I also cleaned out my kitchen cookbook shelf. It is hard to part with cookbooks, but I decided a few could go — the ones I never use. The recipes are heavy on eggs, dairy, and gluten, making them almost useless for me. The space could be better used, so those are going to the bookstore, too. I have more areas to declutter in preparation for doing spring cleaning soon. But that’s a good start.
We are having friends over this afternoon. We are taking them down to visit our neighbors’ 16 baby goats. But before that, the kids need to get good school day in. We stayed busy all weekend and they were tired so I let them sleep in a bit this morning. They’re getting a late start — just finishing up morning chores now and it is 9 am. Better get busy! I’ll buzz in and around them while they’re working because I must vacuum and get the guest bathroom cleaned.
