Under Construction

So why the ladder? I have been away from blogging but wanted to get back to the premise and what I may post in blog world. Life is under construction for me - figuratively and reality wise. I've spent the last months doing projects. On myself - on my house - and as soon as I learn more about blogdom will post pictures.

I am really loving figuring out ways to repurpose things. I notice on garbage day - just how much we throw out. It seems there is no regard for how we can re-use things. I seems at times (from my realist point of view) if it's not perfect we get rid of it. We hear about how people get rid of people in their lives - they trade in for a different model for a partner. hat's happened to committment? Marketers have convimced people to get new cars every 2 years (been there, done that) Some throw out a perfectly good item that someone else needs - with no thought as to how they could find a way to give it away. Some just get rid of it because they want a 'new one'. I wanted a new light fixture after painting my kitchen - but found I could just spray  paint it - it looks brand new and cost me $7, I'm trying to really watch how I deal with that whole concept. How can I update something instead of buying new. Paint - fabric - move it - so I will share ideas on that.

Also how can we take care of others with things we no longer need? If we do a home project can we donate gently used items to organizations. I'll post ideas on that.

You may find favorite recipes - gardening ideas - things that I enjoy posted. So enjoy as I share my view of the world.
