After spending one frustrating hour trying to get a quarter out of our vacuum cleaner, I actually swept the floors upstairs. While I am generally a fan of labor saving devices (I could write an ode to the dishwasher right now), it was actually quite satisfying to use my body to accomplish a household task. And since it's absolutely stunning out, it was wonderful to have all the windows open, a breeze running through the house, and only the silent sweep of a broom against hard wood floors.
