Spring light

 

"A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here..."

Emily Dickinson 

A glimpse of tulips through clean basement windows with new mini blinds-- what's not to like? 

Our Seattle winters are long and dark, and there's a disquieting feel to these first glaring sunny days. Mind you, I am not complaining, but the abrupt return of light certainly reveals the landscape (inside and out) with clarity. 

It looks considerably brighter downstairs after sucking up several canisters of dirt and dust. This is not an especially big house, but it's old and difficult to keep clean because of all the dusty nooks and crannies, not to mention stuff we've accumulated over the decades. 

As for the closet cleaning quest, I've always complained about the lack of closets in this house, but there suddenly seems to be a lot of them.
