Nothing done yet on focus!!! But that's ok - I love how we keep going back to areas / I've been doing that with my weeklies since January and it shows how dirty my house gets in week ;)

In DR I have dusted and vacuumed. Again, Swiffered from ceiling down which is best for me, I've found. I want to get the outside of the window, but it is cold, cold. I may wait a few days - inside done. The Declutter I did here last week was really helpful to neaten up before dusting.

blessed, here we don't have heron in flocks but usually see single birds, so I didn't know you could hear the flight. Geese, of course, are pretty impressive with sound. Your dining room looks lovely.

Great work d Harriet!

Heron - I wish I could share how it sounds-they don't land here as a group

The swans are back too - very small amount but always fun to see!

The Sandhill cranes fly over our house every year and the are beautiful - I love the sound -

there's a video on YouTube called sandhill cranes flying over Batavia Illinois - this is my favorite!!! I can click them every spring and fall! I love their sound even though half the time they are so high you can see them - but when u can it's beautiful to see when it's a very large flowing group

Have a wonderful day!

Hi, Cathy!

If you ever wonder what I'm talking about week by week, just glance at the calendar thread above. But you certainly don't have to follow this to chat about cleaning.

In the bedrooms now, I find our master bedroom needs a dusting top to bottom. Dd's bedroom needs... .. expansion. She has been decluttering there all last week and honestly she's still at the "everything's pulled out" phase. She struggles with sidetrackable tendencies more than my other children, I think, and finds organization less attainable.
