One Drawer at a Time - Gloves

 


When I am going through a drawer or a shelf, I will sometimes wonder to myself why to I have so many of "fill in the blank"? Sometimes it makes sense to me, like plates.  I have a lot of plates LOL But then there are times that I'm like how did I accumulate so many of these? Do I forget that I have them and keep buying more?  Do I keep finding sales and thinking it is a good bargain?  So many possibilities.  I am now working in my laundry room. It's amazing how things tend to pile up in there as a catch all kind of room. But it is mostly things that belong in there.  I don't just come home and throw random things in there.  Everything that is out there is there for a reason.  

While I started on one of my shelving units in there, I came across the garden gloves.  And then another pair of garden gloves.  And then another.  And another. I totaled 8 pairs of gloves. While that is not a huge amount, for someone who doesn't work in the garden all that much it definitely is.  Honestly, I know these are all Michael's because he loved working outside.  He still does but does not currently have a yard of his own. He was always buying new garden utensils of one kind or another.  Gloves included. 



I am going to use these gloves to motivate myself to get outside and work in the yard and the flower beds.  I have absolutely no clue what I'd be doing, but it would be good for me to get out there and do it.  Who knows?  I may find myself to be good at it.  Or at least learn to be good at it.  I was never a huge fan of yard work growing up.  I mean, seriously, who is?  But now as an adult I find myself enjoying the time I spend out there. I am just not used to that because Michael took care of that while I took care of the inside of the house.  Sometimes places were switched but not often LOL  So, I have organized the gloves and placed them neatly back on the shelf.  They were in a big heap before.  And now I will use them and get myself outside and making the yard look good.  I love it when cleaning a space can inspire me!
