I hate cleaning it because the dust is always a bit greasy from cooking and that makes it require a much more intense effort to get it clean.

Nothing else will fit between the fridge and the cupboard and they needed a spot to be stored. Oh, the fly swatter is up there too, beside the tray. :) We had 2 beautiful and mild sunny days Thursday and Friday that just felt like the promise of spring. Our snow melted down a lot from the heavy rains on Wednesday. Now today is a bit snowy and a raw east wind. Yes, the weather will be up and down for the next 2 months or more as I restlessly wait for spring's arrival.

I've never seen or thought of a fridge cover but it sounds like a brilliant idea. <br />I see you store your knives on a magnetic rack, too. Is it out in the open? Mine is. But when my daughter and her husband were selling their home, their realtor told them to put the knives away as it was off-putting for potential buyers. Huh? <br />I love the fresh smell of snow. But it's another year without any.

I too keep a cloth up on top of the frig, and just rarely go up there so it doesn't flop around too much. But I did get tired of it so took it down just recently and now I need to remember to clean up there more often. Your magnet idea is a good one. Clever lady!

Your icy, snowy pictures are so pretty, it makes me want a snow-cone!<br /><br />I just have to say that I really admire your, Christmas Cactus. I have had one for 2 years, and it has not grown at all, I don't know what I am doing wrong. Your's is just beautiful! <br /><br />I don't put anything on my fridge, because they always slip and slide! But, I will now! <br /><br />I have never been able to make nice button-holes. I guess I just need more practice. My mother used to make all my clothes, and she would always have someone else make the button-holes, she must not have been very good at it either... :0)<br /><br />Cute panties!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-64312877119395547022016-02-19T14:15:01.689-05:002016-02-19T14:15:01.689-05:00Yes, I suppose it could work for an iron, but that...Yes, I suppose it could work for an iron, but that is my handheld mixer. ☺Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-4094472344087531852016-02-19T14:12:49.989-05:002016-02-19T14:12:49.989-05:00I never thought about that at all!

I don't usually put anything on top of my fridge, it has a cabinet right above it. I shudder to think what the top must look like by now. Best not to look? The strap for the iron cord is a great idea! It looks nice and keeps everything tightly corralled.
