I am considering looking back at my posts on various blogs that I own to see how many times I’ve mentioned that it’s snowing outside. It’s snowing yet again today, this winter feels like a winter for the record books…we haven’t seen the ground for over 2 months now. I guess it’s nicer than looking at the grays and browns of winter, adds a nice brightness to everything, but this year for some reason I find myself looking forward to Spring more than usual.
With Spring comes thoughts of focusing on the outside of the home and on gardens, perhaps this is why I received free tickets to a Home & Garden show in our local area yesterday. When you are making plans for your gardens, don’t forget to think about what your house looks like from the outside. In fact, right now the outside of the home is more of a focus than the property here in the northeast as there are no blooming flowers, or green leaves to distract your attention. One thing you might consider is your window dressing. You think of curtains and blinds inside, but the outside can be dressed up a bit, too, with some beautiful exterior shutters. I noticed some pretty ones at larsonshutter.com, and liked the idea of free shipping and the sale they were offering when I visited.
In spite of what any ground hogs might have indicated yesterday, I’m all for an early Spring this year.
