It's that time of year.
You know, Spring Cleaning time of year!
I love this time of year, especially in Houston. We only have about 2 weeks of spring, so that means you have 14 days to comfortably clean out the garage, go through closets and open the windows to air out the house before the humidity saps the life out of you!
I have jumped on these days this past week. I've put in my raised beds for a small vegetable garden. You can't really dig in the soil here. Here in South Texas all we have is black gumbo. Which is how we describe our clay soil. Trying to get a decent garden in my yard the old fashion way would take backbreaking work, and I'm opposed to that kind of gardening! Along with the raised beds I've also fertilized the yard with weed & feed, because my yard is ate up with weeds! But my major accomplishment this week has been ...the GARAGE!
It's great! After 2 years of garage chaos, we have organization! How did I do it you ask?
Like the line in the sand that Travis drew at the Alamo. My garage now has a man side and a girl side.
Why?
Because while my husband is great at so many things, he simply can not keep a garage clean, or put things back where they belong. So, it was time to make things clear. So we can find the caulk when we need it and ....so we can see who really is the one who keeps messing up the garage!
The man side has the tools, lawn equipment, oil and various other car additive products, and about 20 different types of nails and screws. What is it about nails? Who knew you needed so many? Saws, electrical cords, and paint are also on the man side. Of course the garbage cans are on the man side too! Duh.
The girl side is far less complicated. It has lawn chairs. Perfect for relaxing , while my husband sorts through his nail and screw jars. I also have the suntan lotion, and mosquito spray, because I don't want to burn or get bit by bugs while watching my husband sort those screws! I also have my gardening tools. Which are not nearly as impressive as the man side tools.
Organization is great! Spring cleaning is invigorating and renews my vision and love for our home.
Now.....we wait. To see who really is the one who messes up the garage. The man or the woman?
I sure hope I'm not the culprit!
