Spring Cleaning
March 16, 2023 For a good part of my adult life, I have been pretty grouchy about the arrival of spring, vibing more with T.S. Eliot’s declaration that “April is the cruellest month” than Robin Williams’ idea that “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’” All promise, but only slush and cold wind. Not to mention the dreaded ritual of spring cleaning, when like good Marie Kondo devotees, we clear away the clutter of our winter lives. Nope, give me a season that doesn’t go back on its promises or ask me to shampoo the rug of the dog.
