spring cleaning...

I spent most of yesterday and today cleaning the house and the back porch. Both were in a sad state, but the porch, in particular, had seen better days. Covered in dirt, cobwebs, pet hair and a blanket of yellow pollen, it was in desperate need of being "Spring Cleaned"... and so I did. I washed every piece of furniture, vaccuumed cushions, swept and mopped the floor and even cleaned windows. Now, it is once again our quiet, serene retreat... where we can sit and watch the rain fall, read a book, visit with friends or even take a nap (as my dear husband has been known to do a time or two).

With two, cats, one dog, four children and countless numbers of kids' friends, the "sparkle" won't last long, so I'll enjoy it while I can!
