The wind chill was 15 degrees when I left for work this morning.  All the more reason to begin planning for spring!

Here are some tasks to help you get ready for when days grow longer and the air grows warmer:

• Block out a few days to do your spring cleaning, indoors and out.  You'll want to de-clutter and deep clean all those things that get passed by when you do your Friday tidy.  If you've had harsh weather this winter, your yard will need some cleanup as well.
• If you have children, you'll want to make summer arrangements now.
• If you garden, now is the time to plan your garden and order seeds so that you'll be ready for first planting.
• Take an evening or two to look through your spring and summer wardrobe to see what needs to be repaired or replaced.
• Look at your summer recreation equipment (sporting equipment, beach gear, hammocks, lawn chairs, grills, etc.) to make sure everything is in good shape and ready for use.

Don't you feel warmer already?
