Spring is right around the corner, and the official start this year is March 20. Now is good time to get started on the yard work. I am sure some people have been working on their yard already with the incredibly mild winter we had in the DC area. Having said this, watch out now for a blizzard.
I was going to offer a guest blog today, but Heather will be here next week giving some good guidance on how you can make your self and your life more organized.
Here are some good tips for everyone as we get ready for spring:
As you prepare to mulch the flower beds, keep in mind that sometimes you can bring termites into your beds via the mulch. Like all things there are experts on both sides with varying opinions, but it is a concern. Make sure you keep some distance and between the mulch and the foundation and do your own research.
Keep your bushes trimmed so that there is suitable air flow and moisture wont be trapped behind the bushes keeping your wood trim moist causing to wood rot. Also now is a good time to clean the exterior of you house, many of the home improvement stores sell the solutions and brushes to make the job easier, make the house cleaner and are actually good for the environment.
Everyone loves to grill out and now is a great time to check your grill, give it a good cleaning, check the tank, and the burners to make sure they are in good shape. Better to start now and make any needed repairs before you have that juicy steak on the grill. Since we are on the subject of grilling. The sun as much as we love it does have harmful UV Rays. make sure everyone has the right sunblock so they can enjoy the time outside and not get burned.
I had a nice closing yesterday with a really nice young couple, we had a few last minute hurdles to get over and we did. But they now have a new Home. It was great to see them happy at closing.
