I feel for Sarah. I suppose it's a compulsion, eh, to start spring with a nice clean house. I'll drop a hint to my housekeeper!

Actually, for Jewish Sarahs, it's (also) akin to a Biblical command, as she and her family have to rid their kitchen and their whole house of any traces of leaven before Passover. To accomplish that, they've got to clean... As for non-Jewish Sarahs, I think there's something 'natural' in wanting to freshen up the house, once Spring shows its face. Just how I look at it, is all... Happy Spring!

Some say courage comes in a cup \\ These days I just want to wake up \\ whatever the case is \\ I'm off to the races \\ when I smell that fresh pot brewing, yup!

You plant and I water; He provides the growth. And most days, I think that He laughs at us both :-)

Beautiful limerick ! As the battery has to be recharged, human body too needs occasional recharging.... ! Let Sarah finish up the cleaning without getting exhausted

Yes, that is very, very important, i.e., that Sarah not exhaust herself! Thank you, Valsa.
