Survey #202 Response from Lisa Beth
| What project or task do you most closely associate with the phrase “spring cleaning”? What challenges or difficulties does this activity present for you? | Spring cleaning to me means cleaning every inch of the house including things like behind the frig and large pieces of furniture. I used to do it each spring before any"fun" could occur. Life had challenges and I discovered the Flylady and came up with the idea that it didn't have to be a punishment. Then I came across you the Clutter Fairy and the idea that my house didn't have to be a punishment. I've divided this high ceiling, 17 room plus basement and attic task with tons of outdoor space into zones for each month and it's doable. I'm back to loving gardening and my little project including crafts with my Granddaughter. |

| What positive or negative feelings or memories does spring cleaning evoke for you? | Opening up all the windows, letting all the allergens in, oiling all the antiques and sore chapped hands, watering eyes, sneezes and runny nose that wouldn't spot til first frost. My mother collected colletcions so it was pure hell just trying to breathe thru it. At Grandma's it was more fun with the team of 10 cousins, aunts, uncles and a few spares. It included the annual painting of the white dairy barn. We attached things like an army and progress was swift as we joked, played and ate on the hay rack and ourdoor tables. |
| What’s your favorite sign that spring has arrived? | watching new perennials pop up with my granddaughter on our weekly garden tours. |
