My mama, Patty Davis, always “deep cleaned” in the spring time. Our home may not have been the grandest, but it was the cleanest around, thanks to her.

  I was doing what women did. My mama, aunt and grandma. Clean was a good thing back then.

I am in the midst of spring cleaning except I can’t get the mattresses out on saw horses in the sunshine to kill dust mites. I spray them down with Lysol. Wash all the quilts & blankets one more time before storing most of them. All our linens growing up went into a cedar chest. Windows were washed inside & out. And we kids would get a new pair of shoes if we were lucky. Spring was garden & planting time. Shrubs & hedges had to be clipped by hand.
