Housework

How do you feel about housework?   Do you have some sort of schedule whereby you "get it all done"?   Or are you more apt to wait until the house looks like a disaster and then clean?
I fall more in the first category  and in winter I don't mind doing what has to be done but in summer I want to be outside not inside cleaning.  Another thing about housework that I resent is that it truly is never ending. Floors you wash on Saturday will very soon be dirty again. Same for dusting... and laundry...

I grabbed some fun pics off the internet. Hope you enjoy them.  I love how the women washing dishes seem to be enjoying themselves.  Maybe this first woman represents most of us.  (Doesn't this first pic make you think of Lucy in I Love Lucy?)

My DH painted these shelves in the livingroom yesterday. They are usually full of assorted family photos. When I took them all down I could see that I hadn't dusted under them for a long time.  The main reason they needed painting was because the picture frames I have are all metal and the metal had left black marks on every shelf. So this morning I tried putting a coat of clear nail polish on the part of the frames that rest on the shelves.   Hope that does the trick.
(As you can see some of my Christmas things stay out all year long.  Just in case you wondered!).

Making meals is part of housework, isn't it?   So this  might qualify as having done some housework. DH picked up the flat of eggs at the farm where we normally buy them.  I love the extra large ones that we get.

Now that I've had a chance to sit for a bit and get rested I'm off outside again. The sun keeps going behind clouds but they are the fluffy summertime clouds and not the kind that bring rain. At least I hope they don't because DH and the grands are going camping tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting today.   I enjoy your comments so keep them coming!!
