Close-up of a bankers box with 2 post-it notes taped to the side. Each neon yellow post-it contains 12-15 book titles scribbled by hand, indicating the contents of the box.

One more packing pic: started scribbling an abbreviated inventory for each box as I go. Really, really wish I’d thought of it months ago. 🤦🏼‍♀️📚Oh, well! “Discovering” all the uninventoried books one box at a time will be fun, too!💁🏼‍♀️📚📦

Two silver tabby cats look away from each other while curled or sitting on a plaid-sheet-covered bed. A teal wall is behind them.

Today’s packing pic: “Truce.” I’m frequently using this bed as a packing table & box-assembling & book-sorting space, but I try not to disturb the Silver Sisters too much in the process. Sigh: Littermates, but never friends. So: Truce. #packing #silvertabbies #packingbooks #booksandcats 📚💙🐱

Two stacks of books balanced on a front porch column, with assorted items awaiting packing into background.

Packing on the porch! 🧳📦📚 Foreground: yesterday’s score!🤣💙 Found while scavenging for packing towels at GW. Background: recent day’s take, while hunting packing sheets at GW. The careful eye will notice some repetition😉. Hoping to start a book club or Little Library! 💙📚💙🖋️💙🧪📚 #packingbooks #moving

A pair of worn brown shoes with a stuffed, grey catnip mouse in one of them.

Thank you? Chessie’s game ended in one of my shoes. Much better than the time I found a desiccated (actual) mouse in a boot, months after the “game” ended.

Grateful to and for everyday creature-friends during this Lenten season.🙏🏻🐱🐶🐭 #lent #packinghouse #packing #catandmouse #packingbooks 📚💙

Two children’s picture books — The Fairy-Tale Princess and Orpheus and Eurydice — balanced atop a packing box.

Today’s packing pic: (another from yesterday) Oh! I want to just sit down and read them! My children’s books are some of my most favorites! It pains me to place them in the dark of a box and then stack them with all the other anonymous boxes. 📚💙 #packingbooks #fairytales #greekmyths #childrenslit

A feather duster next to the massive volume The Unfeathered Bird by Katrina van Grouw. Both are balanced on the edges of a bankers box set on a wooden floor.

Today’s packing pic: the incongruity of applying a feather duster to the massive The Unfeathered Bird by Katrina van Grouw. 📚💙 #packingbooks #booksky #bookcare #naturalhistory #unnaturalhistory #birds
