Spring Cleaning in Florida
I think since our seasons are so different here in Florida, we do a lot of things differently than the rest of you up there in the great white north. Take, for example, Spring Cleaning.
It’s only January, but our strawberry crops are already in. So, it is starting to feel a little bit like spring down here. We put in some tomato plants last week and I have noticed the grass is getting greener. So, that makes me feel like throwing open the sashes, putting up the garage door, and cleaning the dickens out of this place. It is time to wash windows and take down curtains. It’s time to air the rugs and shampoo the upholstery. I also want to get rid of a lot of the clutter in the garage and go on over to my storage unit and see if I can thin out my boxes.
I have some friends who are already working on their back yard for the season. They are putting in pavers and making a raised patio out near the back garden. They bought a new boat for the summer and are working with a local charity on a boat donation for their old boat. If we could just grow bulb flowers down here, I could see them hip high in tulips and daffodils by now.
In case you were wondering about the charity my friends picked to give their boat to, it is Carangel.com. They use the money from vehicle donations to make the coolest videos for kids, and they give those videos away at no charge.We love their Donkey Ollie cartoons.
