Gardening: I ordered some seeds. Sandhill preservation is having a November sale- buy one pack, they throw in an additional pack (their choice) from same category. So, buy tomato seed pack and they will throw in a tomato seed pack. Last year got a free pepper seed pack that everyone got as a donation from a person. That pepper variety was very productive and large- great fresh, great grilled or sautéed! Another free pack of cherry tomato seeds that grew well. So, I figured that I could try out some new selections. And, they tend to overfill packs of seeds, so that is an added bonus. We liked nearly all seeds we got from them last year.
Home improvements - centered around closets atm. All of them needed to be painted white and re-shelved. We busted through the wall to more than double the MB closet. There were 2 walk-ins that were back to side, but now make one nice MB closet! That left the other bedroom without a closet, so we built a new walK-in in the unused area by the door - much better layout for that room!
The most recent closet was the other bedroom- it was 3.5’deep and 8’ wide (nearly the size of a sheet of plywood). There were narrow shelves all across the back, but could hardly reach through the clothes hanging in front, not to mention the sliding door only allowed access to 2’ of the closet at a time. Then there were the 2’ deep shelves above stained a very dark wood color and made of wood (not plywood), so were sagging bc of the 8’ length unsupported. One exposed lightbulb in the ceiling. Now, the closet walls, shelves and floor are white! Sliders removed and double doors installed! LED light in the ceiling! It’s only a closet, but such an improvement! That bedroom was green...walls and carpet, but we put light colored wood-look vinyl on the floor and painted the walls in a white that is in a high reflective paint base (Sherwin Williams), which nicely brightens the room.
One more bedroom to go! It sits next to above mentioned room. It is small but useable. We go back and forth between knocking down the wall and making one big room or just leaving it as it’s own room. Benefits to both and there is an office between 2 of the bedrooms we could convert to a bedroom if we made those two a single room. Office stays an office otherwise, changing occupancy of the home (4bdrm to 5bdrm) is a big deal I think bc of taxes and septic system size, so we will keep to a 4bdrm home.
2 hall closets to clean, re-floor, paint, etc, but they are small. One pantry closet to build!

Good thing they're not very expensive - guess I'll have to buy some more next spring.
