My garlic is up, and a squirrel has already attacked one of them, and the air is lousy with robins, so between those two facts the cool temperatures don't bother me as much as they would usually. 'It's okay', I tell myself 'It's clearly still spring'. And then I wander inside and wonder if I hang my clothes out if they will freeze.
I still get that itch in spring, the itch that says Clean All The Things And Organize Them. Now that I'm back on my housekeeping schedule everything is moving smoothly (or smoother) and I can actually see all the extra above-and-beyond-the-daily that needs doing. That schedule has just saved my house, I tell you. Every day I do a full load of laundry, even if there isn't a full load of laundry to do, and put it away. Every day I do all of the dishes. Every day I wipe the tables and straighten cushions and open curtains. But when the everyday is taken care of you start to think about the other stuff to do...
I think I'm going to try and tackle the playroom again. Oh, the playroom. It's getting a makeover this summer and I can't wait to write all about it. But first it needs a good cleaning with a garbage bag. And then a dustrag and a mop. Off I go.
