Setting Spring In Motion

There are several things that you can do to set spring in motion.  Sometimes it’s hard to believe that spring is just a couple of weeks away, especially if you live in a place that gets a lot of rain.  Portland is such a place, and it’s apparent that people can’t wait for spring to get here.  The question that lays before us is simple: what can we do to get spring in motion, before it appears to be here?  There are many things that can be done to help facilitate spring in your life.

Crafts!

Are one of the simplest things that you can do to bring spring into your life.  This Farmers Market bag is one of those fun activities that will allow for you to start bring spring into your home.  If you make this needlepoint, then you’re not just going to be bringing spring into your home, but to everyone that sees the bag that you’ve personally handcrafted, it’s that simple.

 

Spring Cleaning!

Spring cleaning is another avenue that many people use to kick off the spring.  It’s not the most enjoyable of things to do for the spring, but it’s often necessary.  Cleaning your home, garden, attic and garage are just some of the things that help you spot problems that may have developed over a long cold winter, that need attention during the warmer months like spring and summer.

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.
