A quick dehydrating tip, Muffy. They all look pretty and interesting in glass jars on the counter….but light, heat, and of course moisture will shorten the lifespan of the food. Our strong mountain sun can bleach stuff in no time. Dark, cool, sealed from bugs and moisture. As with most things. And they do need to be turned over and eaten on a regular basis. The professionals use a gas sometimes to be able to last longer.
Now back to our regular programing with decluttering. I’m still decluttering snow and having crisis after crisis. My piles of stuff are getting deeper! Aaaack!
3 yrs ago I slashed my beloved book collection. I don’t like to hold hard cover books in my hands so when I had duplicates, I kept the paperback. I’ve still got tons and tons of books. Now they’re scattered all over the book shelves in only a bit of order. But I’m reading mostly ebooks and GUESS WHAT…..they take up no physical space! However, if the stuff ever hits the fan, my HUGE collection of FREE ebooks will go ZAP! 🙁 So ….I’ll just have to keep my paperbacks. 😉 I read a paperback before going to bed…..cuz of that computer light not being good for sleep???
Not succeeding in this decluttering right now. Phooey, was doing really good! I’ll get back to it…if the snow*melt*ice*snow*melt cycle ever stops.
