| What lawn or garden chore do you find the most difficult, challenging, tedious, unpleasant, etc., and why? | The most difficult job I have is climbing on and off the lawnmower. Riding lawnmowers are wonderful, especially when you have an acre to mow. But, when you have had both onees replaced, climbing on and off, turning around and sitting can be difficult at best of times. Our yard also has a lot of oak trees whoch drops large limbs during storms. Walking them around to burn can take its toll too. While the spirit is willing, the body is weak at times. | ||||||||||
| What’s your favorite thing to grow, and why? | I dont really have a favorite thing to grow—i have a brown thumb truthfully. | ||||||||||
| What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing? | Letting go of things—it takes time and can be done. Most of the time it is not about the item, it is about the emotions, memories, and dreams related to the item. An example would be is that I held on to every single children’s book I purchased. As I prepare to send them forward, I can’t help but think about the times I read to my children in bed—and their favorite books. While I may not be able to let some of the favorite authors go, I can others. Or maybe it was the tub of hot wheels or legos we collected over a 10-year period. The tub remains in my closet, i do feel like the grandkids will play with them someday—but my daughters-in-law do not want the toys that their spouses played with—or other collectibles as well. It meant something to me to keep an item, but it doesn’t mean the same to them. | ||||||||||
| When do you expect to downsize your living arrangements? | I plan to downsize within the next two years. | ||||||||||
| How would you feel about having to give up 50% or more of your current possessions in a downsizing move? |

| Complete this phrase: “Spring is _.” | Coming! Time to move forward! | ||||||||||
