Perhaps Sandy Shreve's will help when I eventually get to the paper piles as long as I don't think of the last five lines.
Maybe this one? (for which I thank google for sending me to - maxwell at apartment therapy)
Okay, so it is a bit light on the cleaning side but the rest of it is tempting - particularly right now.Love Song
Sweep the house clean,
hang fresh curtains
in the windows
put on a new dress
and come with me!
The elm is scattering
its little loaves
of sweet smells
from a white sky!
Who shall hear of us
in the time to come?
Let him say there was
a burst of fragrance
from black branches.--William Carlos Williams, Al Que Quiere! The Four Seas Company: Boston, 1917
I wish my own spring cleaning didn't get so much like Lori Boulard describes. Or ninepatch.
I don't know whether David Keig's encourages or discourages me, for I'd never cut it as a 1950's wife! Indeed thanks to Dr Gaye Bland I know that my own sentiment is more like that of Emily Dickinson who apparently wrote "House is being 'cleaned,' I prefer pestilence." No, I don't feel that way, but it sounds like Emily was referring to someone else doing the cleaning ... I wouldn't be complaining!
Has anyone else discovered that google is a great tool for the procrastinator? Easier to self-justify than Zuma or Dynomite.
Okay mum's here to go shopping, procrastination complete!
Showed mum Roy's photo... "oh ... He's a nice looking chap" she says. "And beautiful daughters."
