Cleanup in Old North St. LouisI did a little more fall cleanup work in the gardens today. There is more to do but the weatherman says that the sun will shine and the weather will be warm the next few days. Outside of three rides for Doctor’s appointments and one to the airport, my schedule seems open the next few days for more cleanup.
Also a friend just finished editing or cleaning up a long letter I wrote to the Provost of Marquette University detailing academic, ethical and moral reasons for closing the base school of the Army at Marquette. If facts matter I hope to get a response.
I am also working to clean up a list my wife made for me of things to do around the house. And of course there is always the cleanup of my office that still hangs over my head.
Perhaps it is the extra hour of daylight savings time we got today that enables me to do so much clean up. But maybe not, since looking at a clock in the kitchen not set back, I had dinner ready today one hour before my wife came home. I used the extra hour by cleaning up some of the mess I make in the kitchen whenever I cook.
If fall is to prepare us for winter it is good to clean up before the fall sunny days turn into dark, cold winter days.
I still feel, since my son’s death, that I am walking in the ‘shadow of death’. However, cleaning up takes away some of the sting of the darkness of death.
