When the ants start carrying the dishes away, I guess it’s probably too cluttered. I would have to look under the pile of empty cereal bags that I have on top of the receipes and coupons I pulled out of the newspaper. There is a serving tray with the package of napkins and all the little bread wrap tags, plastic forks and knives, and small plastic lids, next to the large fruit bowl full and overflowing with bananas, apples, grapes, and oranges. Then the toaster is sitting on a serving tray to catch the crumbs, along with the salt & pepper, honey jar, sugar dish, vitamin container, ziplock baggies, and chocolate pudding containers.
In front of these are several coffee mugs that can’t be washed in the dishwasher, the ice trays waiting to be refilled, the empty fruit juice pitchers waiting for the juice to be taken out of the freezer and water added. There’s an upright paper towel holder, several refrigerator magnets that needed wiped off, a plastic grocery bag dispenser, two types of cleaning wipes containers, a spray bottle of cleaning liquid, and a bottle of dish soap. In the sink is a pile of dirty dishes waiting for the dishwasher to be emptied of the clean dishes.
And that’s just the counter on the left side, I could write a list of stuff on the right hand side that would be even longer, because the counters on that side spread out on both sides of the stove.
