In the midst of February, two moods both punctuate our daily life. One is wondering how it can be so cold when winter is supposed to be ending, and also the positive emotion that encompasses Spring’s near arrival. It could be compared to the last moments of a long run for fitness. You know you’re in discomfort, but just around the corner, if you’re patient, is the warmth and security of what you’ve been looking forward to.
But how should you experience Spring? Probably with a little rain (get out your rain jacket!). But is there a way to celebrate the coming of new life, a new dawn, and new potential? There absolutely is. We’d argue the following methods are the best:
Landscaping
Now you can spend evenings in your garden with heightened warmth, and slightly less moisture, you might find time to landscape your garden. This is a great time to begin, as you you will have the most amount of available time from now until winter rolls around again. Winter often turns our gardens into dead, slightly unkempt and unhappy grey areas, and so making the effort of improving this could be considered more than just landscaping.
It’s an activity which can foster the newfound improvement and vitality of all areas of your life. Who knows, getting your garden in order is likely to progress to getting your house in order, and this could then lead to getting your wardrobe in order. This can also lead to bigger and more significant changes in your life, but at root at least you’ll have a wonderful garden to behold.
This could be achieved by hiring a landscaping service, categorizing a separate area of your garden for a new vegetable patch, or installing a new patio. It could be finally improving your carport area through gable roof patios. With new Spring comes new life, and this should also apply to your home.
Entertainment
Invite some people around and be social! Of course, it always pays to find a warm day and invite your friends around then. How better to show off your landscaping efforts? You might decide to host a BBQ in your back garden, throw a party for your child or generally enjoy a few glasses of wine on the patio with your friends. While you may have kept an active social life during the winter, there’s something about enjoying the peaceful process of nature that allows for the most memorable social events.
When the temperature starts getting a little higher, and when the clock goes forward and thus the daily lighting becomes more endurant, why not consider camping out in the garden with your children? This can be a silly, fun and convenient event tailored to celebrating the coming Spring. You needn’t place forward too much effort. Sometimes having the garden trampoline up and once again functional, cooking some party food as well as enjoying a few party games can make for a great way to call in the new season.
With these two things combined, getting out into the garden and enjoying your outdoor space will once again become viable, with the warmth of the sun to support you.
