no winter dust to wipe off

by Grace on March 18, 2008

Here in Dubai and in my house, there is no such thing as the yearly scrub fest called spring cleaning. First, because there is no spring season in Dubai la-la-land and second, because there is no need to put away winter blues around the home including jackets and woolies because we don’t have them. We wear the same clothes all throughout the year! Wipe off the winter dust and let the sunshine in? No need! The sun is shining 330 days of the year on the average!

When we were in Japan, I would be busy sorting out the closet and changing the beddings and blankets. Now, there’s no need to mark my calendar when to take out or put away winter and summer clothes which I find very convenient.

Have you done your spring cleaning yet?

Funny you ask! Since we just came back from skiing in Switzerland, I’ve just had to wash all the winter underwear and coats and pack them away. A quasi spring cleaning I guess.

PS – love the new look of your blog!

Okay, no need to rub it in now!!!! We have four VERY DISTINCT seasons here on the Canadian prairies and we are only just starting to come out of winter. It’s not warm enough yet to throw open the windows and give everything a good scrub-down. Nor it is warm enough to pack away the winter clothing yet!!

I wish! My mom is a cleaning maniac and I would be happy if the spring cleaning attack would be over already (preferably if she would get it all done during the week when I’m not at home). LOL
But since it just started snowing again today (for the first time in months), I’d say spring is still a few weeks away. Pity, because I have really cold feet right now. ;)

BTW, I have to come over more often. I love the new background and the new header. Looks fantastic.

As short as our Springtime is here, (last year at this time it was allready 99F), I get out the shorts and flipflops, and the kids are allready wanting to take a dive into the pool.

I don’t really do too much Spring cleaning either, for the same reason!!

Missed you!! Thanks for checking in on me. I’ll be back sometime this weekend. :wink:

I’ve started putting away my winter clothes. I love wearing turtle-necks and jackets… I’m gonna miss them.
