| Describe an object, collection, or category of items that you’re keeping even though its value, desirability, and/or usefulness to you has significantly diminished over time. | Cookbooks! I have thinned the herd of my mother's cookbooks from an entire wall full of cookbooks down to one shelf full of chosen ones I held onto for various reasons. It has been five years since I did that and have not once gone to the shelf to look at a recipe. It is easier to find a recipe with my phone. It is way past time to get rid of all the remaining cookbooks. |
| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | Some are old, no longer published, some are collections by famous chefs who have passed or will be passing soon and might have some value some day. Others used to be my one go-to source for inspiration but time proves otherwise. |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | The long days of sunlight, but it is so hot here in New Mexico, I have light blocking curtains closed to help cool down the house. I've forced myself to be up before sunrise so I can go outside to do gardening. Placed 40 perrenial plants in the backyard last week to cover the bare spots in the yard with ground covers and drip irrigation. This will eventually greatly reduce the time and money pulling weeds every few weeks and the irrigation gives them a better chance of surviving. Investing the time, money, and sleep now will pay off in garden enjoyment in the future. |
