The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!

I have always found this portrait of the Bronte Sisters facinating.

It was painted by their brother Branwell, who at first painted himself in the picture, then rubbed  himself out.

You can see where he is outlined in the  portrait.

The Brontes are such a facinating  family anyway, but this portrait just somehow sums them up for me.
The project this time is for Spring Cleaning.

Check out Good Housekeeping's list
(from Heloise) for quick cleaning helps.

Here is their list
