Dust and Pine Needles

Dust ~vs~ Pine Needles

 

Isn't it interesting how your thoughts ~about housing keeping challenges~ change based on your location?

 

In Kirkland....we had lots of evergreen trees and I always said, "Pine needles are the bane of my existence."  Because no matter how often I vacuumed, swept and/or dusted, there were STILL pine needles that had been missed.

 

In San Tan Valley....we have DUST!

I hate to dust!  I think it is a useless exercise, because the next time you turn around, you need to do it again.  However, in this home -- it must be done, and it must be done OFTEN!

 

The other day Jon said, "Let's replace "The EVIL Tree",

(it warrants the use of caps)

with an evergreen tree.  I love evergreen trees." 

I looked at him like he was crazy, and said,

"No way!  I don't need both pine needles AND dust to contend with."

 

I do love evergreen trees...but I think we can compromise and find a tree that,

1.  Doesn't have inch long thorns.

2.  Doesn't shed.

3.  Is beautiful anyway.

 

Time will tell....

....Until then,

you can find me....

I will be dusting!
