Got a good haul out of the attic yesterday ~ no finishes but have 6 garbage bags filled and many boxes crammed with items to donate. Also removed an area rug that I'm just going to dump. I love that rug but there is no getting rid of the cat pee smell so out it goes after hording it for a year. I also cleaned out 3 kitchen cupboards of items I don't use or haven't in years. That is a very good feeling :)

Today it's depressingly overcast and raining, so we can't continue in the attic again until the sun comes out as there is but one lightbulb up there and the area we need to attack next is far away from the electrical light source but...is near a window. Hopefully this afternoon ...tomorrow my parents come for a visit so that rules out anything getting done unless we get to early in the morning.

And last but not least ~ here's a few shots from this weeks' vase of tulips. They were a very unusual bunch, flopping and actually crumpled in places. The colour has oddly faded to *meh* as the petals pushed unfurled which has been a great disappointment....but here a few before that point.
