Spring and summer will eventually be here. Hopefully, they're a pleasant time of year. However, if they're a pleasant surprise, then it might be a case of you not being ready. Knowing what to do in order to prepare for spring and summer lets you make the most of each season.
Plan Your Vacation
Most years, the first few months of a new calendar year are known as “wave season” for the cruise line industry. People know how much money they have to spend after the holidays are over, and they're looking forward to getting places that are warm, sunny, and maybe even exotic. Get the best deals and options by planning early.
Get the Yard Ready
Make sure the lawnmower still works, and have some idea when the grass will need its first cut. Check with gardeners in your area for when to plant specific herbs, fruits, flowers, and veggies you want to enjoy in the coming months. If you decide to do indoor seedlings for later transfer, you'll need to start that while it's still wintertime.
HVAC Inspection
If your heat is still running, then your air conditioning might be the last thing you're thinking about. However, it's been sitting there idle all winter. You want to make sure it works the first time you fire it up for long sunny days. Have an air conditioning repair technician come out early in the spring to give it a lookover and standard maintenance. If you didn't have this done in the fall, then you might especially need more work on it than you think. This will likely save you a headache in the upcoming summer months.
Clean the Pool
One thing that is often overlooked is having maintenance done on the pool. It’s often an easy thing to do, but if forgotten, can cause issues long-term. Make sure to contact a local company and have your pool and pump inspected to ensure everything is running smoothly and all the gunk is cleaned out.
Bust Out the Decor
Whether it's a flag you fly in front of your home or just a seasonally patterned throw you put over your good sofa, you might have some spring- and summer-specific decor to mark the sunny time of year.
The calendar always keeps moving, and March will come again. Spring will also come, whether that's March where you live, or earlier or later. Be ready for it when it does so you can spend time enjoying it instead of catching up.
