There are so many things to love about June.
April Showers *Might* Bring May Flowers...if you're in Zone 7. For those of us teetering between a hopeful 4b (but more like a 4a, let's be real), April might have instead brought frosty mornings, some exceptionally cold drizzle, and actual literal ice (oh come ON already)...until this week we were literally looking at frosty mornings. Then BLAMMO! It feels like summer!
Like all collective wisdom, "cleaning tips" really just represent a shared inheritance of knowledge. We like to think of it as a little Foundry jewel cache of accumulated methodologies or *tiny* tweaks to a routine that can make a serious difference.
Now is the time that all things just begin to feel alive. As the earth slooooowly warms and wakes, the tickle starts at the root, a slow thaw and percolating wickness, a quickening, greening flow of awakening coursing upwards. This is true for our own precious bodies, alive in the core and capable of so much sweetness, and this too is the spring song of the sugar maple.
