Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I was last here on Mylot. I hope everything is alright with you. I am well and I hope you are, too.
January is my getting rid of some things that I don’t use anymore. It is a Spring cleaning month for me. Well, it is still winter but not as cold as it used to be years ago.
3 of my orchids plants in my living room are blooming. They look beautiful. Some of my Spring bulbs like tulips are sprouting from their pots. They will be showing their beauty soon.
Do you do Spring cleaning in January?
Thank you for reading. I am going to reply to the notifications I got after posting this discussion. Some are already gone I suppose. Have a nice new week! Take care always.

I feel like you are very talented to be able to get your orchids to bloom, I cannot even keep them alive. 
Here we are just keeping cozy inside. We cannot really reorganize because all of the places that we donate to are closed due to covid restrictions.

@snowy22315 Maybe Phalaenopsis like the one in the photo above.

@LadyDuck I do the same every week but my „spring cleaning“ is sorting out things and cleaning the kitchen cupboards and wardrobe once a year. Throwing things that I don’t need anymore. I have cleaned my windows and washed the curtains before the Christmas. I will do it again in May.

@RasmaSandra I see. Maybe your talent lies in other direction.

Good to see you here. Those are lovely orchids. I have to have a housekeeper. She helps me with cleaning and decluttering.

@LindaOHio With a big house, you need a housekeeper. I always have a help when I am in my house n the Philippines as it is too big for me to clean. I only want to do something in my garden there.

@thelme55 Thanks! Without a housekeeper our house wouldn't get cleaned.

I don’t do spring cleaning but I have been trying to clear the closets out so have been donating and selling things.
Your orchids sure do look pretty. I killed an ivy plant and poinsettia plant this past week so I’m down to only three cactuses now.

Hello Thelma.. In Indonesia there is no spring. is currently approaching the end of the rainy season. it feels like when the rain comes, I'm lazy to do anything. I want to go to summer soon so I can be more enthusiastic about activities

I don't generally do spring cleaning in January, but I definitely need a clear out, so maybe I will. Not today though!
