Monday: ritual cleansing

[15_the_circle]

[OT from cottage renovations]

the same constraints that have kept me away from camera and behind, way behind on email and flist have also taken their toll on upkeep around the place. 

as the renovation work has proceeded, in fits and starts to be sure but progressing over time, one thing that I've noticed is the gradual emergence of an inadvertent differential in housekeeping standards between the parts of the place that have already been fixed up and those where potential remains untapped.  this manifested itself Monday afternoon in a strong compulsion on my part to deal with the accumulation of filth on the porch deck so its contents were moved into the clear and out came hose, scrub brushes and mop.  there's nothing like a hot afternoon to make the idea of splashing about with hose and water seem like just the thing.
