Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you achieved in the quest for a low-clutter lifestyle?

Today, I gardened. Gently, carefully, with many breaks. But I used up all the bags and half bags of manure, soil improver, lupin mulch, and potting mix. I moved old tyres from where they were mess, and made them in to planters. And I put plants in a couple of planters where the previous plant didn't make it through the summer (one because we discovered that the entire planter was full of roots from the now dead ficus -- the poor plant in there probably had no nutrients to get). And now I have tomatoes and basil, and great hopes for harvest!

It was probably extravagant, using good soil for everything, and just dumping it all out on top of the sand, rather than mixing it in, but maybe this time I'll get a good crop.

I also moved some small things to the 'these are leaving' shelf, and had a friend come visit and borrow the currently unused cello. Not yet ready to farewell the cello, but happy that it is getting use.

Yay, gardening! I'm glad you were gentle and took breaks. That's really important for any sort of heavy work, and hauling tyres and soil is certainly that.

I rustled up a brush and tested paint, and it blends so much better than what I had previously and I like it so much better that the test was declared a success. New color for the library: chosen.

Ooh, that sounds like an exciting step forwards with the paint -- it's not just decluttering but improving. I hope the painting goes well.
