Are You Visually Blind?

Posted on Mon, 01/24/2011 - 20:23

The other day I had something happen that reminded me how we can be "visually blind' to our surroundings. My daughter asked me where the mini blender was, so I looked where I thought it was and didn’t see it, and then looked in several other cabinets I don’t use a lot. When I found it, it was in a cabinet I am in all the time and it was sitting right out front.

This same situation can happen with clutter. We get so used to seeing it we don’t see it.
I remember years ago when my children were growing up, one day I looked at a flower arrangement on a table – really looked at it.

Reality Organizing

I just saw a picture of a gardening organizer in Martha Stewart’s magazine and it reminded me of a built-in closet organizer. Now don’t get me wrong – it’s great to put in systems for closets and gardening tools, but let’s get real.

The gardening tools in the magazine were brand new; mine look like they have been left out in the mud for a few weeks.  The picture showed one rake and just a couple of other tools. It looked lovely but….it showed just a fraction of the tools we gardeners own. As for the organized closet pictures, let’s get real there too.

Cleaning Out the Garage

Posted on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 22:25

My oldest son came and we purged the garage. Really, you could call it a carriage house because in the past that is all it would hold. Thankfully, it is not attached to my 100-year-old farm house, because it has become the storage space for everything besides a carriage. So on this day that the cleaning out took place, if you could have been a mouse in the corner, I am sure you would have had lots of laughs. This went like one of the TV organizing shows – he wanted to discard what I felt was important.
