Dumping Grounds



Today's goal: Clean out the screened-in porch.

One of the main reasons Evan and I picked this apartment was the screened-in porch. There's a beautiful old tree just outside that provides shade and we're on a quiet street, so it's the perfect place to sit and read on a summer afternoon.

Theoretically.

In reality, it became a dumping ground for empty moving boxes, seasonal items (note the mini-Christmas tree) and things we just didn't feel like finding a home for at a particular moment. And one ugly mauve loveseat. It was in Evan's "bachelor pad". The thing has no seat cushions.

Cleaning out the porch wasn't really high on the good ole' "To-Do" list - who wants to sit out on an un-heated porch in the middle of a Minnesota winter? But now that the warm weather is here (that and the fact that we've been in the place almost a year), it's time to tackle the jungle of junk.

So today I'm sorting through things, decided what stays (the bike) and what goes (hopefully the couch).

If I disappear, send reinforcements. You know where I'll be.
