All for Nothing (Two Weeks Later)

That's what the garage has looked like for the past week. All that work we did two Sundays ago to clear it out was totally undone within an afternoon. Ah, well, I enjoyed the open space in the garage for a week. And I took advantage of the access to get rid of lots of stuff through Freecycle.

All of that, plus this 7-foot by 3-foot Thule box that's been in the back yard for a while:

But what, you may ask, happened in the garage? That I can answer in a single word: Pesach. The vast majority of what got loaded into the garage is empty boxes from our Passover dishes and utensils. Additionally, all our regular dishes were moved out there, along with any food we sold to use after the holiday is over.

The shelves to the left nearest the garage door are full of dishes and other stuff from the kitchen, while those bins on the right of the narrow path that allows us access to the recycling bins are full of food. (Yes, there are some Girl Scout cookies in the top bin.)

And while the men in the family -- who moved all this stuff out to the garage -- left me a path of sorts to the dog food and second refrigerator:

Access to those shelves on the back wall -- the shelves that the original clearing out of the garage was all about -- is totally denied:

Pesach ends Tuesday night. Once we get everything packed up and back to the shed where we store it, maybe I can get back to going through stuff in the garage.
