Wow, what a title huh? Well it might just not be what you’re thinking. This description is dealing with cleaning out some of the closets that we have and burning most of it!
Let me back up a little bit. Daryl spent most of the day outside working on cleaning and getting the machinery ready to put back into the sheds for the winter. It’s usually a couple weekends job and it’s also a good thing done. So while he was outside working on that, I really got serious and started to clean out our ‘every day closet’. Now on the farm we seem to have categories for our clothes. We have our job clothes, church clothes, running to town clothes, going out on Saturday night clothes, and then we have the every day clothes – or another name for them is chore clothes. As you probably know by now, in our house we have only two people living here. Those two people are Daryl and I. Well we had enough clothes in our every day closet I swear for our whole town! I mean honestly, do we really need 12 sweatshirts? And especially since we don’t milk anymore and the clothes is to just to do some chores and that’s about it. So today was the day that everything came out of the drawers and decisions were going to be made. I did the old trick of holding it up and making a quick decision. The fate of the garments were in going to be put into three categories. They were going to be given to Good Will if the item still looked pretty good, they were going to be burnt, or they might be lucky enough to be put back into the drawer. Well let’s just say that only 2 pieces of clothes made it to the Good Will pile and I had three garbage bags of stuff that was burnt. Seriously how many left handed chore gloves did we think we needed? And who took all the right handed gloves anyway? And at the end of the day I just couldn’t help myself but to walk by and check out the results of how nice this every day closet looks now! It’s kind of scary the definition of what makes a good Sunday as you get older isn’t it?
that’s something i sorely need to do, clean closets and drawers! my problem is that i want to turn everything into rags rather than burn it, or save it in a tub in the basement if it doesn’t fit. i need to get in a mood to throw things out and just go at it! and as far as where did all the right handed gloves go, around here you wouldn’t have to look any farther than the dog…. for some reason every one of our dogs has loved gloves.
