Here goes---a clean sweep

    I have had the intention for a long time, but in 2010, there was illness, in 2011 the tragedy of death, in 2012, the settlement of things, in 2013 a TKR, another TKR in 2014, and here it is more than half way through 2015. This year brings a torn rotator cuff, but I hope to work around that.  

    So far, I have cleared out 3 used motors, an old metal wheelbarrow, a vintage playpen, a manual lawn mower, and an old seeder.  I shoved some old lengths of garden hose into the refuse container.  And deposited some last-century gowns in the clothing bin.  

    A drop in the bucket of accumulations, but hope lives on.
