I am really tired of all this house time....so not good for me....

The new dresser is finally all together and out of teh craft room. No more flat pack complicated items for me.

I have books everywhere. The dresser is taking the place of a book shelf. I need to cull some books. Just keeping things I wont look at is stupid. My tastes have changed over the years and the internet can provide a lot of information with out storage issues.

I am keeping my Sherlock Holmes collection. It has a home in the front hall. I did get rid of all the old video tapes. Amazon and Netflix solve that issue.

I have a ton of art instruction books. I need to just pick out 5 books and get rid of the rest. You truly learn by doing, not by holding books.

Tomorrow I am getting out of the house. The weather is supposed to be okay and the bald eagles were spotted again today. 2 adults and a juvenile. The location is a couple of miles away from the house. The walk will do me good...and the eagles give me purpose. That and I really need to get back into walking shape. I used to walk about 4 miles a day just traveling. I have gotten lazy in lock down.

I culled loads of books last year, the boys took boxes of them to the charity shops for me. Like you I got to the point of thinking why keep them (dust collectors) just for the sakes of filling book shelves. Most I hadn't looked at in years.

I hope you enjoy your walk and manage to see the eagles :)

One of the things I had to do when cleaning out my old bedroom at my parents' house was go through my absurd book collection. I dropped off several bins of books at Savers but there were an absolute TON of books I just couldn't part with. I still need to do a second culling and move my big oak bookshelf somewhere (not sure if I want it here or in Maine), though.
