Can You Imagine!!

I have no clue why, but most mornings when I come down the stairs (we live in a two-story town home), I feel like doing something domestic.  Of course, the first order of business is to let Susie out and retrieve the newspaper, but that usually doesn’t last very long.  I then turn on lights, open shades, and make coffee.
After that, however, it seems that the domestic side of me takes over.  This morning I emptied the dishwasher, gathered the trash, and swept and mopped the kitchen floor (OK, so I Swiffered it…what-ever!!).
Can you imagine?  Mopping the floor before coffee—before newspaper—before eating!  Now, I know it didn’t take hours of work to do the floor; maybe all of 10 minutes tops.  But still, the floor is done, it smells good in the kitchen, and the coffee stains and other assorted “thingies” on the floor are no longer there.
By the way, I also opened the screen door that goes out back onto the second-story patio and let in some of that cool, crisp May air.  I know it will grow warm today and the smells of the city on a warm day will invade, but for now, it’s just like living northeast of Oakley, Kansas in the middle of a section of land…clean, crisp, and inviting.
Have a good day.
