Winter is Coming, Look Forward to Spring
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Autumn_L_Rose]Autumn L Rose
For everybody in the states that experience a true, snow filled winter, most of us are not looking forward to it. There's nothing worse than white outs, blizzards, snow emergencies, and visits down the ditch. We all hate having to wake up 20 minutes earlier to brush off the ice and snow off our cars, only to sit behind a line of vehicles that are at a dead stop. Sure when we were kids, we loved making snow angels and sledding but now, we mainly look forward to the spring. Here is a list of things to think about while sitting next to your fireplace waiting for longer days.
1. Think about your outdoor patio sets. Do you have all the right furniture for a complete outdoor living environment? Is it time to extend the deck and put up some sun umbrellas? You may even look into installing a whirl pool, that way you can warm up during the cold months. Overall, your patio set is one of the main things think about for the springtime, even if it is currently covered in snow.
2. Plant a garden or two. If you haven't done so already, this is the year to start a vegetable garden. You can grow your own tomatoes, peppers, and mint. The possibilities are endless. What's really great is you can look forward to making your very own home made salsa.
3. Get a boat. If these wintry months are especially tolling on you this year, dig into your 401k and get yourself a nice boat. You can fish with your significant other and play water games with your kids. If you happen to have a boat already simply think of all the water toys that you don't own yet. Try something new; a new kneeboard or 6 person tube may be just the right buy for fun in the sun this year.
When you are feeling depressed during the darkened days and snowy forecasts, just keep thinking about spring. You may even want to start planning. Contact contractors and farmers' markets, get started now while it's snowing so that the second the days are sunny again, you'll feel fresh and rejuvenated, ready to live easy. After that, the summer is right around the corner!
Don't get down, think about the new [http://www.patioset.com/]outdoor patio sets that you can choose from and start planning ahead, it will make those wintry months go by much quicker, and before you know it, there will be sun!
