You have a CAR in your garage????

In response to Nancy and her moving diatribe about her overstuffed garage (http://www.nanpatience.com/?p=625), I have this to say:

Nan! I hear ya, sister.

It's a fight to get the garage door open wide enough to fling something more on top of the pile.

But that is today. Tomorrow at this time there will be floor space and no more piles (or at least smaller ones) because tomorrow I. Am. Having. A. Yard. Sale.

I will try to convince the passersby to stop and the stoppers to load up their wagons, SUVS or bicycle baskets with the stuff I just had to have (that little espresso maker is going, mark my words) but can no longer justify the space they take up in my house.

I long for order, for less to dust, for fewer THINGS, but then I stop in Homegoods or TJMaxx and -would-ya-look-at-that? Isn't it just darling?? Something I must bring home... which will someday find its way to a future yard sale.

And thanks to your inspiration, I'm going to take before and after photos of the garage, the front porch and even here in my little office... where the piles of bags and boxes are spending their last night with me.

I hope.
