                                       The worker's have been busy..
My Daughter's Favorite Flower
                        Spend a hour on a Farm and your worries and woes seem to disappear. Even with the overcast skies, I made it apple picking at Liberty Orchards today.

I Think I've Lost My Mind::

                          Yes, Folks! I think I've lost it or maybe I've come to my senses. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. My Collections are getting out of hand and with a small home. You know... enough already! I need to do some serious purging around here. For starters, I need to ask myself a few questions. Do I love it? Do I need it? Do I have to have it? Can I live without it? Can I find another one just like it?
               I think what hit me hard was a visit to my Mom's, a few weeks ago. Her sadness as I went through my Grandma's jewelery box, hutch and closet. After her telling me, " What am I going to do with these things throw them away?" It struck a core in me. I wouldn't want that on my Children or Daughter's shoulders. Cleaning up years of Collections or plain old stuff could be exhausting to anyone.
             I'm sure this is a good thing. I keep on convincing myself just that. We shall see how it goes.....
For now, I'm taking inventory one day at a time. Have I lost my mind?
                                              
                                             Thanks for letting me vent ;(
