I think I’ve already got a feel for which one would make the most sense to do right now.

Most of the furniture and junk has been moved out..The wheels are turning as we’re trying to figure out how we’re going to turn this mess into something beautiful.. We’ve got our work cut out for us this time, same as always!A few weeks ago I shared with you how I had completely blown it as far as taking care of our yard/property/whatever you want to call it over the Summer.

At that time, I started a system of 15 minute daily yard work sessions, hoping to be a little more disciplined in getting things taken care of that were bugging me.I was also really trying not to overwhelm myself and run screaming for the (non-existent) hills..Little things that bug me are getting taken care of and I don’t find myself putting things off until that magical time in the future when I have a whole day that I can/want to spend working outside on yard clean up..

The idea behind this system is to find something, anything, to do each day for around 15 minutes on whatever project (the yard in this case).It’s about seeing how much you can get done in 15 minutes, but also how much you can get done when you develop a habit and use it 365 days a year.

So that means gardening isn’t just for Spring and Summer, it’s for taking care of a lot of the clean up in the Fall and Winter too, so that when the warm weather hits, you don’t just throw in the towel because you think you’re so far behind..

I wanted to share with you some of the kinds of things I’m finding to take care of right now that make me feel a whole lot more capable when it comes to dealing with all this space we have out here.. First of all, leaves are almost always a big part of Fall clean up.Go with someone who can give you a price as soon as you call and arrange to have it at your place within a few days.

This is the company that does this all the time and you can bet their pricing and weighing will be a little more honest.We had some companies that told us they’d “have to get back to us” with their pricing.

That kind of situation should definitely raise some red flags.. -Plan to do this when the weather is cool.Throwing stuff out is hard work!.
