Spring-Cleaning

© By Kathy Armijo

 

 

Spring-cleaning …

Gets rid of the mustiness

All of winter’s dreariness

 

A fresh coat of paint

Wash the curtains and blankets

Remember to clean the closets

 

A time-honored tradition

Whose idea was it to do this spring-cleaning thing?

It sure wasn’t me.  It had to be some ding-a-ling!!

 

“IF” I get started, today …

Maybe it will be done by June.

Nah, not starting today.  Think I’ll go outside and with nature commune.

 

I can find special projects to fill my time …

Soon it will be fall …

Shuuuush … No one will know that I did no spring-cleaning at all!

This is so cute and reflective of me and likely many others. We do love to procrastinate at times--especially when a big job is demanding our attentions.

I agree if your house is just musty open the windows if it is that dirty that it needs to be cleaned from top to bottom then it was dirty all along so why bother worrying about it now. LOL

Please! please! please! don't tell nobody, but on spring's cleaning time I make myself scarce...very very scarce, until the dust storm settles down and it is safe to return to my favorite chair.

I like the way you analyze the situation. There is always something better to do that "spring cleaning", right?

Be always safe,

Love it! I am with you on this one...I've made it a tradition to do my spring cleaning in the winter, when I'm stuck inside, and then I can devote all my energy and strength to the outside in the spring, and then summer...well it's for just enjoying and well the garden work too, but that to me is a joy! Great write my friend!
Blessings,
