we cleaned windows today. this is always quite a project. we missed doing it last spring . . so the front ones were rather dirty from all the diesel soot. however, the back windows experienced a hard lashing rain a month or so ago, and they really weren't too bad.
chanda was in her glory, because she got to stand out on the fire escape!
it's easy and fun cleaning the fire escape window . .
all the screens come out and go in the tub for a thorough rinsing . . one year we lost our screen . . not while window cleaning . . i forget how it fell out? maybe one of the cats somehow knocked it out while we were away?
vacuuming can be a serious job . . especially when you have three cats and a dog who are all shedding their winter coats.
being the youngest and the smallest, chanda gets all her sisters' hand-me-downs and her friends' hand-me-downs. she has quite a collection of clothes. here she is trying to decide what to keep and what to give away. ay yi yi!!
we were actually up early this morning as she had her sinfonia orchestra audition at 9:30 am (repertory and orchestra rehearsals have stopped for the summer). we began walking over at 8:50 am. it was very quiet, but you could feel the heat of the sun. it was a warm day.
morgana was very ambitious and cleaned out her and chanda's closet and arranged their clothes and costumes. she also put her dresser back together. the drawers had been sitting in the living room because they had all fallen off their tracks. i don't know how she got it together. thank goodness she is so clever and handy.
ahhhh! clean windows and clean screens!
our spur of the moment lunch snack . . mochi, cucumber, and shredded daikon (with braggs and without braggs . . )
Everything looks so neat and clean! Do you want to come over the our house and continue :-)!
