E-cloth classic check dishtowels.. I’m always on the hunt for the world’s most perfect dish towel and I just recently finally tried the e-cloth dish towels.
After doing this formally, in writing for the first time, I have some thoughts and some things about the process that really surprised me.I also managed to pick up some gift cards for teachers, as well as a few extras for other people like the mailman and our bus drivers.

Such an easy thing to get done any time you find yourself in a grocery store or any store that has a wall of gift cards, but it feels so productive.. About the item where we’re supposed to buy all of our advent calendar gifts: I did manage to buy/order a few more, and I have almost all of them, except for the treats that I’ll add in later, but I found that I was actually a little too early for a few of the things I wanted to get!When was the last time you went into a store during the fall months and wondered why the Christmas stuff wasn’t out yet?I always find that it seems to be out way too early, but this year I was even ahead of the powers that be in retail.

I was a little annoyed that I couldn’t get my task done, but also kind of impressed with myself at the same time.. What to do in October to Prepare for Christmas.Here’s our new list!.

My official wrapping start-date every year is October 15th and it works really well for me.
Start wrapping any gifts that you have already, even the little ones like stocking stuffers or advent calendar gifts.Why This Type of Garden is Perfect for This Spot.
One of the reasons that I was really interested in naturalizing this part of our property is that it runs right next to the road, which can be pretty busy at times, at least as far as country roads go.I really wanted to be able to create some kind of barrier between the traffic and where we walk, so that we can kind of get the sense of being away from everything, just for a little while.
A little grove of sumacs popped up on a pile of rocks we placed here temporarily a few years ago and we loved them so much that we just left them.We’re now allowing them to spread out a bit further so we can enjoy their shielding capabilities along that section of road.. Of course, this requires no work on our part because sumacs spread pretty happily all on their own, which brings me to the other perfect thing about a garden like this: It’s basically zero maintenance.. We spend so many hours every week in the summer cutting our lawn and this allows us to cut a little bit less!
