Is it just me, or is the spring cleaning bug totally an early fall thing, too? In the past few years, I've found myself more eager to do house purging and organizational tasks during the late summer months (as opposed to the spring months here in Minnesota). We had a garage sale this summer, and setting up for that motivated me even more to get rid of unnecessary items we had hanging around the house.
