“Ah spring!I absolutely love spring!” Amy thought as she shooed1 her two little boys out of the back door and into the yard to play. It was the first day really warm enough to let them out without jackets and the need for hot chocolate waiting when they got tired of the frosty2 air of the long winter.
Amy watched the boys start to cha each other around the yard just starting to relea all the pent up3 energy of a winter spent mostly indoors. With a smile she turned to open the dining room windows, inhaling4 the fresh breeze as it swept through the hou taking with it the last vestiges of winter gloom. With the happy sounds of little boys laughing in her ears, Amy picked up her duster and dutifully started to dust around the dining room, lifting knick knacks5, plants, and various other items. Dusting the pictures on the walls and not forgetting to dust the trim around the doors, she started with that and would end with cleaning the tile floors.
