Jump-Start Spring

Spring is here. Even if we have to wait to May to feel the glow of warm weather, at least we will be prepared.

Believe it or not, spring is here. Even if the weather is less than desirable, we can hurry its arrival by putting our mind and actions into spring activities. If we have to wait to May to feel the glow of warm weather, at least we will be prepared. Here is a list of things to do.

1. Clean the Grill. It has been a long winter, so it is time to get the racks inside your grill clean. The best way is to use a wire brush and even some easy-off oven cleaner. Also, soak and scrub your cooking equipment. Once everything is clean, it'll be time to make grilled hamburgers.

2. Wear Open-Toe Shoes. It’s time to put your best foot forward with a pair of open-toe shoes. There are many styles on the market, including the trendy patent peep-toe, platform-heel shoe. But before you attempt to get your feet into a pair of shoes, take time to get yourself a pedicure.

3. Take a Hike. It may be a little chilly, but the cool air will feel good. Make sure to layer your clothing and bring a hat and a thermos of hot tea for the trail.

4. Ride With the Top Down. Nothing brings the spring air to your face like the wind. If you don’t own a convertible, consider renting one.

Nothing says spring like the chirping of birds.
