Yes... Once upon a time... their was a little white house with warm yellow light spilling through the windows, the frost from the fresh foot of snow and artic chill air poking at its warmth... You can see the fire lit in the hearth and smell the fresh wood smoke on the air... curling around you like a warm blanket... The tree lights sending kaleidoscope sparkles across the glass paned windows... ahhh... the holidays... k well whatever... It is that time of year again... You know the one... where the Holidays are over and you are breathing a sigh of relief just to know that your house is starting to resemble normal! Well as normal as any busy family of 5 can resemble!
Yes, the decorations somehow coming down; while cozy when they were up, make your house look rather bare... Yet it is SOOOO CLEAN looking... K well at least until the kids re-clutter the area's. It almost has the feel of spring-cleaning in the air... Could it be the unusually Warm weather we are having in MN this time of year?... the NEED TO PURGE! Yes, my children's closets/bedrooms have already been done... The Bathroom Cabinet and Bedroom Closet and Night stand... and tomorrow while I am off the hall closets and kitchen cabinets! So should you (my husband and children) be looking for anything specific and be unable to find the item of your minds interest.... perhaps it had been left unattended just a tad too long... and it is now donated or garbage...
Not only is this the time of year to purge... as you look for what is missing... I am feeling a bit lost without the scent/sight of SNOW... that we still don't have... The crisp air... the smell of gas from powering up the snowmobiles which have yet to be removed from the trailer... but are polished and ready to go... Ice fishing with my dad... God rest his soul... and all of the Memories that seem to be missing... but come racing back around the holidays... So... to each of you and yours... Well Wishes this New Year to last you!
