‘Spring’ means… (to me!)

When I think or say ‘spring’… I instantly think of ‘spring cleaning’.. Don’t laugh!! … … … … Oh stop it!! That’s just ME… I have to clean, clear and de-clutter.. That’s the most important!!… The last week has been a week of massive cleaning projects, from my kids room, to my room, from bookshelves, to toy boxes to finally the terrace and front porch today.. The week ahead, I’ll be making a list of things to do, and ways to refresh moi’s home…

Spring is a time for warm weather, and pretty green grass growing, with leaves & flowers beaming… Everything seems to be springing back to life *smiles* A time to think of BBQs and beach parties… flying kites & playing football..

Spring to me is a season … of love … It’s a time for pastel colours …. a time for me to take another look at my art work… and continue to dream of ‘project next’…

A time to rearrange my outdoor spaces… bring in flowers… and fancy vases…

When doing that and more today.. I also rearranged my ‘Zen zone’. I played around with the bench this morning… and created my Zen corner for the week… Across this bench is where I’ll be spending my mornings… *smiles* I’m linking this to The Key Bunch April Spring/Summer Carnival and a few other blog parties!!
