I FOUND THE FLOOR!
For the past four years, my third bedroom has been used as a storage room. Over that time, we replaced the bunk beds (used when the grandkids came to visit) with shelving. The shelving eventually became overrun and at this point the floor was piled high with only a path from the door to the freezer. The piles would shift around as we sought out various tools and objects. It had become ridiculous in there!
But no more: we got it all cleaned up!
No, I’m not going to embarrass myself by posting a before picture but here’s the after picture:
Now the only items on the floor are the worm bin and the vacuum cleaner. What a pleasure to walk into the room, right up to a required item and retrieve it without fear of bodily harm.
There’s actually enough floor space that the mattress that’s been leaning up against the dining room wall for the past four months will fit in there when my company comes in a couple months. They can actually sleep in a room with a door instead of in the dining room! I’ve been saving the mattress specifically for this upcoming visit and then will get rid of it. Hmm, with the worm bin in there, it puts a whole new spin on the phrase “sleeping with the worms.” Lol, we’ll see if they mind.
While Tropical Storm Debby did some flooding and damage in the surrounding areas, the homestead got through in fine shape. The ground was wet and soggy, there were a couple of branches down, and we were without power for a couple of hours but really, it was smooth sailing.
Now that the sun has returned and started to dry things up, we were able to get out and do some maintenance in the chicken coops: collecting eggs (28!), raking the run, bedding both coops, and cleaning and filling the food and water containers.
While doing that I took a gander at the garden. I harvested 10 cucumbers (they were not in people eating condition, but the chickens will enjoy them), 6 green peppers, and – surprise! – dinner:
Remember when I over planted squash seeds because they were a couple of years old, so I wasn’t expecting a good germination rate? Well, Every One Of Those Seeds germinated, and I have squash plants everywhere! Not only that, they all have squash blossoms and many of them have fruits started. I guess I’m going to have to find some friends with whom to share the squash harvest.

Wow….you’ve been busy! Looks great! Glad to know I won’t have to sleep in the living room…that might have been a bit embarrassing for O!🥴 and as long as the wormies stay in their box we’ll be fine! I have a beautiful zuke waiting for me to cook when I can have “real” food again! Sitting here at 5 am drinking the 2nd phase of “prep” before my 9:30 procedure! Hope this is my last one ever!
