I Wonder If People in Other Countries Do Spring-cleaning. ;)

Spring cleaning is an Iranians' custom which has been common since ancient times, and generally takes place before Persian New Year. In each home, everything is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture. :D
Most Iranians are busy shopping and cleaning their homes before the New Year. I suppose, shopping a is the good fun part but cleaning a house is a back-breaking work. :)
Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means "shaking the house" just before the New Year.


I can hear the hum of bees, these hard working creatures when as they pollinate trees, and I can see trees start to sprout leaves again and reproduce. That means spring is coming. ^-^
Spring is my favorite season because not only was I born in that season, but I also love its mild temperature. In March, when all the trees blossom, the entire city is filled with a pleasant aroma, because almost all of the trees here is are orange trees. I am eagerly looking forward to spring. In summer, however, everyone wants to die because summer is really hot here. I (hate) don't like/don't enjoy summertime here. I hope it never comes/arrives. :D

This picture shows the countryside of near to/around my city. My cousin took this picture in the last spring. ;)

Really nice work Sarah, interesting piece and lovely photographs.  Well done!

[Excellent, as usual.  One error that native speakers make, too:  Since you said 'an Iranian' (singular), the possessive would be 'an Iranian's'.  If you had used plural, it would have been "the Iranians' "  The plural 's' is difficult in certain situations.  I also changed the order in the first sentence because it changes the meaning in a subtle way.  By the way, I don't like summer much in Atlanta, either.]
