Junk is stashed, but Harley is prized.
I get another prized comment from you!
EVERYONE has at least one junk drawer — often in the kitchen. I let that slide — where else can you find a fire starter, string, door knob, stray napkin ring holders used to tie tablecloths down, dried out magic marker, and more?
Thanks for this comment, Claudia, which is NOT junk.
I learned something from Webster’s 6th definition of junk 😉 I love your junk-free pictures, especially the first nocturnal picture of the moon. I have a box in the closet, where I put things that I think someday will be useful. I’ll have to trash some of the items because they haven’t been useful so far. Have a nice day, Ann
Thank you for another precious and kind comment.
I love the quip about the spaceship. Now I feel proud of my junk drawer!
Be proud of your junk drawer and say “Yes” to the mess! ❤
