Man I totally missed it. Yesterday was the first day of Spring and I missed posted about it. Well, please forgive me for being a day late and a dollar short...
Anyway, spring time here in the southwest mostly consists of the following (especially in AZ):
- Calling the air conditioning repair place to make sure that your unit is ready to go for the summer....oh yes...this has to happen by March or you are sure to have problems in April...
- Changing the sprinkler/drip system to water at 4 am and 10 pm everyday so that vegetation that is not normally found in the desert southwest will thrive in your front lawn
- Making sure that you have picked up/raked every dead leaf in your yard to make sure you are keeping up with the Jones’s immaculately kept front lawn
- Taking trip to Home Depot to buy plants to put in your planter boxes that will live for two weeks until you either forget to water them or it hits 100 degrees and kills them.
- Sending pictures to your friends/family in the upper northeast/Midwest/northwest of all the things in bloom and you running around in shorts while they are still in winter coats shoveling snow (I actually like this part of spring in AZ)
- Taking walks at night (about 9ish) to enjoy the cooler weather only to realize it will last about a week before you are no longer able to leave the house without sweating like a pig
- Last but not least….gearing up for the Ostrich Festival that usually happens this time of year because you know…everyone has to ride an Ostrich at least once in their life….
Happy Spring
