i have a certain

tolerance for piles and clutter. this spring has proven a challenge with the bathroom project and now with the addition of the basement closet, (piles of tools and switch plates and caulk tubes etc)

preparation for a yard sale on saturday,
leaves, crated and ready to haul to the farmer's market this afternoon. i have 5 crates and a picnic basket packed to carrying weight.
these next few days will bring an end to all the piles. it will be a relief to reclaim the basement.
