Jackrabbits, not bunnies



Yesterday I whomped up enough energy to "tie into" some housekeeping that I have put off for three years. Vaccuuming the tops of the ....whatever they are and wiping down the Roseville Pottery. When I saw this house I decided that it was the one I would choose because it would feature my husbands collection of Roseville Pottery perfectly. Of course I never thought of the task of cleaning. In three rooms there are walls that don't go all the way to the ceiling and make perfect places for the Roseville. In each bedroom the closets don't go all the way to the ceiling and are shelves above instead. (It is hard to describe but hopefully a picture or two will show you what I mean. I climbed up on a ladder to vaccuum the landings? (maybe that is what they are called) and wipe down the Roseville. After working in the garden a while, digging up Burmuda grass, then coming in the house when it got too hot to work in the sun, I started chasing the dust Jackrabbits. I cleaned the ceiling fan, blades and light globes then attacked one of the landings. Up and down the ladder I went (not very fast) and I got one side of the one in the picture, hopefully to finish this particular landing today. It is in the kitchen and the other side is the entertainment room. In the days coming, I will show you the collection of Roseville. That is, if my energy holds up.

There is also a picture of a nice sunset a few evenings ago.
