While it may be too late to begin a major project since Memorial Day kicks off the summer season of entertaining, it’s not too late to make a plan, and there are still many quick fixes that can inspire you to change your ways. If you do something every day for 30 days, it becomes a habit. Start developing some good habits that reduce the chaos and stress in your life and you will enjoy your summer guilt-free.
The wet April brought us spring in May (finally!) but Memorial Day, graduations, and Father’s Day signal oncoming summer. Did we blink away spring? The trend this year is to add living space to your home by moving out – out on the patio, that is. It’s not a new idea to add an outdoor kitchen to that old barbecue, but folks are doing more – much more for their summer entertaining (and possibly year round) space. "April showers (and Passover and Easter) have come our way' as that old old songs goes and have been put in the books for this year. Now for the spring flowers "that bloom in May" - are we ever ready! The poor flowers didn't quite know when to come up this year, but by Mother's Day we'll at least be able to decorate the inside of our homes with the wonderful scent of spring. While I hope that you've been at least filling on vase with fresh hot house purchased flowers weekly during the winter season, now is the time to decorate with the sign, scent and splurge of color only fresh flowers can bring. |
