"Puttering is different from tidying up. Puttering is really a time to be alone, to dream and to get in touch with yourself.
When I'm tidying up, I can always use an extra pair of hands, but when I'm puttering I like to be on my own ...
When I putter, I make new discoveries ... I sort through belongings I've gathered around me. I'm reminded of aspects of my life, and the memories are brought into the room."

Her books can be a little *off base* in a lot of ways, but other things are spot on!

To me puttering is doing what I like to do rather that what I have to do. When my husband asks why I don't just sit down and relax, I tell him puttering IS relaxing to me.
