I don't do a big Spring Clean but always feel inspired in the autumn. In the spring, I'm more consumed with opening the garden and planning the summer. It consumes me after being cooped up in the house. This year even more so than others because our winter was so long. I couldn't wait to be outside and digging...
My friend Beth and I are both doing ongoing cleaning and organizing. We spent so much time working on our Civil War program that we tended to let things stack up. Trying to start a new project in clutter is like trying to write a new story on a page full of doodles.
I'm also an emotional cleaner. Losing Teddy and then fostering Rudy plus all the problems my Mother In Law is undergoing is a big catalyst too. I worry about my husband during this time plus he is working in some not so safe areas.
The great (early) Autumn Purge began a a few weeks ago. My house looks awful as I have clutter everywhere trying to do determine where to send things...stuff litters every flat surface and has for weeks. I've taken one truck load to Good Will, two car-fulls of furniture to my son and wife (thankfully they've moved into a new big apartment and actually NEED things), and thrown out what I can. This week I'm tackling the sewing room and hopefully part of the attic or basement (depending on the heat).
When this is done, I'll still need to do inventory but hopefully it will be easier in my streamlined home. Well I'm off to the mines er, sewing room to pull things out and reorganize. Have a wonderful day!

The flowers look lovely, and here the temps have dropped a bit, so the house isn't too hot to get some work done. In fact, when I checked the thermostat this morning it read 65F - that's a bit nippy! Fortunately I had just come back from my walk so I needed it to be cool, LOL. Good luck with the stream-lining - sometimes that's a hard thing to do! I'm trying to remember if I saw your basement or not - I don't remember it, but ... ??!! I hope hubby and your MIL are doing well, and that things will settle down for you all. Maple syrup hugs, just because!! :)
Hm....saying some prayers for hubby and his mum....my FIL is in hospice right now, on top of everything else. So I know what you're going through hon. Rudy is adorable.
My boys will be moving in a few weeks - they'll need stuff so I'll be purging too, lol. Autumn is just a better time for it, I think!
