Wow, what a winter. As I write this, we experiencing one of those rare warm days that occasionally crop up, so it got me thinking about the big transition that will be coming up very soon. We're going to need to do lots of fix-ups to our homes and yards after this rough winter before we can start enjoying our decks, patios, and backyards.
Spring itself will put some bumps in our way before we can get out and have some fun. If you are like me, the flowers blooming and tree pollen brings out some nasty allergies, which can really put a damper on your early spring. Yards must be cleaned-up and maintained before we can fully enjoy them. In my case, my deck desperately needs waterproofing. Maybe you have a fence that needs painting, or you have so much clutter in the garage that you need help getting it cleaned out.
Our homes and yards are one thing -- how about the toll that the long winter has taken on our bodies and our spirits? After a winter of sitting around on the couch, and over-eating over the holidays, we are carrying around more than a couple of added pounds. I'm determined to get my diet under control and get going on a fitness regimen.
All of this has me wondering...what can help get some of this stuff taken care of, so that I'll be able to enjoy spring? Is there a way to get these chores and projects done faster?
In order to help kick-start your spring, Toms River Online has put together a "Springtime Resources" page. The page has a list of many the directories of local businesses that can help get you complete those tasks around your house and property, so that you can get out there to experience some spring fun.
As for the fitness program... I recommend checking out the directory of "Gyms and Fitness Clubs"...you'll be happy if you get started now, since after spring.... comes summer days at the beach. Will you be in shape to put your swimsuit on?
