The Fun Of Spring!

Spring is arguably the most enjoyable of all seasons.  It is after all, the end of one and the beginning of another.  The end of the dog days of winter where frostbit abounds and the beginning of another where the ice is breaking and there are plenty of new babies to be found.  The babies can be anything from horses, dogs, cats and even insects (my least favorite aspect of Spring).

Spring Fun Number 1

It’s time to go outside and have a blast!  This is when you clean off your bicycle from all of the winter dust, make sure the chains are oiled and head for that long awaited ride.  But remember, when you go on that ride, you’ll probably be sore afterwards.  Why?  Because most people have dropped their exercise to just about nothing by the time spring starts rolling around.  Don’t forget, it doesn’t have to be a bicycle.  Walking, running, sports and all that comes with that.

Spring Cleaning 

Spring cleaning is everything from what was of winter, to what will be of spring.  Yes, it may be a little bit early, but if you’re like most people this change takes more than a day or two.  It’s not just about making sure everything is clean and shiny, but about putting the things of winter away (after a good cleaning) and bringing out the things of spring.  I love spring (okay I love most seasons).  I love all the flowers that bloom and the baby’s that are born.  But one of my all time favorite things is to make things that brighten my house and my families lives.  This occurs with making things and making spring come to life in our home.  Consider some of the following designs that you can do to make your home full of joy.

Plan now and you wont regret it later!  It’s the lack of planning that makes you have the challenges that tend to come your way.  So while the end of January is upon us, it’s not to early to begin preparing for spring.  It’s only a month away.
