Spring Cleaning and A Historical Morning

I spent the weekend spring cleaning, changing out my seasonal wardrobe, and preparing itmes for donation. Pedro helped, of course. He had to sit in each tub I opened so he could be assured of petting and the occasional chase game. And he inspected the clothing coming out as well as the clothing going in. For the most part it was an all day job with breaks for walks outside and knitting.

Squiggy came by for a visit and a snack of unsalted cashews while Pedro watched and twitched.
Then, this morning on the way to work. I detoured to downtown for a drive up what used to be the wrong way on a one way street. The city has finally reopened Tejon Street to two traffic after being a one-way thoroughfare for 37 years. They had closed the east side of the street for five blocks over the weekend to repaint the parking spaces, now angled in the correct direction, and add "look both way" signs to the pedestrian crossings. On the AM news a city official reported that they even came up with two additional spaces. Oh, the things that excite us in the spring.
Hope you are all finding buried treasures in your spring cleaning!
