Attack the dust!

Hello! Good Saturday Morning to all of you.
It has been over a year that the dust build up in my home has been a problem. I had knee surgery over a year ago now. The upper shelves needed attention back then but I was not allowed to climb ladders. I still need to use high caution. My beloved attacked the dust on all the high places in the great room today. It is my hope that with both Dash and I having asthma,this will help us. It has been a real concern to me. With the allergic/hereditary emergency swelling happening so often and steroids keeping it at bay I had to push the priority of getting the dust knocked out!.Beloved worked all morning on it and I am so encouraged. It has bothered me for so long that I just almost got up on a ladder myself to tend to it.

I awoke late at 11:30 today. I sure needed the rest. My Love was at task for us. I am so appreciative that he just got after it. I have asked for several weekends and it just kept getting put off due to other events. Today was the day. Man all the stuff was just black. Dash is having breathing difficulties and coughing a bit. I am somewhat winded I know it had to really stir up the air in hear. I am resting a while while My Love goes on a couple of errands. He took down the left over decorations from Beauties birthday (in July!).

The items were all black with dust. I washed the fine things and "Love" took the others out doors to keep the dust down.

These are all some of the favorite things I have. The "tree of life" quilt and such. I love the children's poem print.

He vacuumed all the upper window frames. These are real dust holders. For living in the desert it is very dry and very dusty. I love the light that comes in these duel pain windows. I think they would be so lovely as stained glass.

"Love" even vacuumed the curtains and they are white again! It is so encouraging. I have been keeping the dust managed on the blinds only to have to redo it over and over because the upper levels just made a mess of all my work. It has been a very frustrating year of dust for me. knowing that my work was being sabotaged over and over again.

He is even removing everything above the TV and the dining hutch. It has been a lot of work for him. I am so happy to have this chance to have a really clean home again. It is such a beautiful building that it just seams a crime to let it get so bad. I know once all this dust is removed that we will all breath better. It is my hope that it will improve the problems I am having with the allergic swelling/inflammation stuff that has been hitting me so hard.

Once I get to feeling better I will be all set to decorate for the holidays to come.

I hope you are all having a great day!.
