"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

["Bloomin Crocus's! (Croci ?) (Crocus' ?"), by Allie's.Dad.]

Seneca reminds us that in order for something new to begin, the old has to end.

The seasons are like that. On this Easter Monday, winter doesn't seems to want to let go even though the first day of spring arrived last Friday.

In spite of the cold, we can see all the signs of spring as plants force their way through the soil. The days are lengthening and they're sunnier. The robins have appeared and are at work. The change of seasons takes quite an effort.

Part of the change is taking actions to turn away from the old season. It is time for spring.

We'd like to help winter end by removing it's reminders. We need a spring cleaning.

A lot of debris blew around the last few days with the high winds. The road dust has accumulated on the walkway and windows, and has been tracked indoors. Seeing this every day is a reminder of the old season when we're thinking of the new.

Would you help us? We could use some hands to pick up the debris that has collected outside. The windows need to be washed. The brick walls and sidewalks need a hose-down with a pressure washer.

Inside, our carpets need to be cleaned. A thorough spring cleaning by a skilled crew would be great.

If you can assist us with any of the above or in some other way, please give us a call at 471-3257. Thanks!
