Laundry cupboard mystery saga continues.  Last night I opened the cupboard to start the final load of laundry before bed.  And was greeted with a wet bottom shelf that smelled distinctly like bleach.    The molded plastic bottle had separated for a quarter inch along the bottom seam and dripped its contents until gone.   Really????   Fortunately the bottle was nearing empty and  the splashless (thickened) bleach was contained on the vinyl shelf liner installed last week. But it's spooky October.  What next??  Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts -- no mystery required!!

Walked into the laundry room yesterday morning to a strange chemical odor. Eyes watering, I began searching. The smell was strongest around the cupboard where I keep an assortment of laundry products. Pulled open the door to see a mat of goo all over the shelf. I quickly began emptying the cupboard and found in the very back corner a container of hair spray with a punctured bottom. Why was it there? Why was it punctured? Another of Life's Mysteries! Took my best elbow grease to remove it! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!!

Busy week - but the lovely weather made it all doable and even enjoyable.  We've caught up on the yard work -- about where we planned to be in June.  Got several projects pushed along another notch toward completion.  That includes the pantry organization.  I can't really call it reorganization because it was never organized since we moved in.  I'll share pictures when it's done!  May your week bring you closer to achieving your goals.  Thanks so much for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

Love this time of year with flowers in full bloom and noting changes to make in the garden for next spring planting (NO big tomatoes, only cherry tomatoes for salad). It's cool enough to be outdoors all day without fearing sunburn or heat stroke.  Preparing the house for winter with a deep clean, decluttering and reorganizing -- although I know it will take half  a winter to get used to any major changes, it's still worth it.   May you enjoy the season you are in!  Thanks for stopping by to share your great ideas!

It's fall.  Not officially on the calendar, but tomato plants are being pulled from gardens along our walking path.  Apples were harvested from the two mini orchards, new trees and shrubs were planted in the right of way, a couple of patios have new fire pits.  At 3 o'clock the neighborhood is flooded with kids on bikes from the school a couple blocks away.  The sunsets are high in the sky and super spectacular. It's definitely fall!  Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!!

Perfect weather this week and we've been taking advantage.  A trip to the State Fair, tackling some  outdoor projects, taking evening strolls along the suburban brook and admiring the spectacular sunsets.  Wheels wanted a swing this summer but we can't fit one on the deck and didn't want to give up green space for a permanent structure.  So we settled for a light weight glider that can be picked up and moved for mowing and put it where it is backed by tall pine trees.  It's such a relaxing place to unwind just swaying back and forth watching the butterflies and whatever else flits by.  May you have some beautiful sunsets and quiet time this week to refresh the soul!  Thanks for stopping by!
