I don’t know where you live, but here in Washington, DC, we haven’t actually had winter. We’ll have a day or so of cold with some hints of precipitation followed by days that feel like mid-spring. I’ve never needed my really warm clothes and I haven’t been able to put away my transitional season wardrobe.

It’s all very confusing. And it makes it hard to plan.

But spring will inevitably come.

• So start thinking about your garden and yard cleanup.
• De-clutter something to make spring cleaning easier.
• Plan some spring or summer entertainments.
