Hestia, Your Inner Goddess of Hearth and Home, REALLY Wants to Get Some Spring-Cleaning Done
In this first week of March, 2014, we’re in a funny little transition zone.
The cats are restless. They’re running around the house, chasing each other and getting into mischief. They want to go out.

Last Sunday, people were flooding into the grocery stores, looking (once again) for the Oh-my-God-we’re-going-to-be-snowed-in-supplies.
This Sunday, people will be looking for pansies.
