♡ Working toward *Un-Grumpiness*...

♡*♡*♡*♡*♡*♡*♡*♡*♡*♡
(There!  Does this pic, look less *grumpy*?  Yes it does...)

Thank you to all you Dear Readers, who told me, that lovely red tree, a Japanese Maple.
.
Oh yes, "Uncle A." participates in the house cleaning.  Oh yes!  And we both LUV it, when everything looks neat/clean.  :-)
*♡*♡*

Isn't he the cutest thing?!?  He ran across in front of us, and popped up through the stone fence.  But my getting ready to take of pic of him, scared him back down into the stones.
*♡*♡*

When he came back up, "Uncle A." began talking to him.  He looked right at "Uncle A." and came up and sat, and sat.  By then, I had my camera zoomed in on him, and could just take, and take, and take pics.  :-))))  ~~~~~~~~~  How can I stay *grumpy,* lookin' at him, hu?  :-)))
*♡*♡*

(Just a "Study In Vertical/Horizontal"  -grin-)

The house cleaning plan is chugging along!  And it's soooooooooo wonnnderful to look around the bathroom, hall and kitchen and see the *glorious order imposed.*  :-)  Guess "Fly Lady" did inspire me to get going again.  But I can't do her total plan, right away.  I have to get the downstairs into making-myself-happy-order, first.  Can't just jump in as she wants us to do...  Gotta' make a base-cleaned-up-ness.  :-)
.
Then next week, we plan on tackling individual deep-cleaning spots.  Like washing all the windows, one day.  And really cleaning all kitchen cabinet fronts, another.  And etc.
We PLAN to.  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)

Guess this could be called the *Season Of Fading*...  Leaf colors fade, before they fall.  The sky is rather stuck in tones of gray.  Mists in the mornings.  Dampness abounds.  The earth seems to be "waiting" for something...

He certainly is the cutest little thing, and what a poser. You got some great pictures of him.

I've been noticing the little chippies around. They're living in the stone work that supports the back edge of the property and one day I hope to be able to take a photo of ours. He's still terribly skittish.

Make FlyLady work for you not the other way around. Still, if you do that little thing she wants you to do and keep it done, you're going to come out on the other side with a beautifully maintained home done the "fun" way. If Uncle helps you with the housework that's all the better and even MORE fun.

Hi Auntie!

I agree with you, who could be grumpy looking at the cute little chipmunk?! We don't have them in the valley where I live, but we do have squirrels, and they are a menace! I love chipmunks!

I try to do Flylady. I know that I am so much happier when my house is in order. My husband is retiring in January - maybe I can put him to work with me?! He is the real neat-freak!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos - I love the one with the vertical/horizontal sidewalks, reminds me of art class! But, I especially like the color of the tree... :0)


Hugs,
Barb

You are working your plan! Good for you both!! I am at Amber's helping her a bit. Funny, I raised her and yet her ways of cleaning are different from mine. She is eco friendly while I embrace harsh chemicals. I love Pine Sol, Fabuloso, BLEACH, Comet.....I love the smell of CLEAN! I used an eco friendly cleaner I found under her sink and swept and then mpooed the floors with it. She came home and said it smelled 'Clean.' So perhaps 'Clean' has its own fragrance! Who KNEW???

Oh the chipmunk is the cutest little thing. I love the second photo when he is coming out of the rock.
I've spent the day cleaning and rearranging the living room.
