This has to be my favorite time of year!

The sun is starting to tease me with glimpses of warmer rays and buds are emerging on my fig tree.  That means its not long until regular home entertaining so I better spring into action and have a big tidy up.

1. I've edged the garden beds, pruned my mop tops and mulched to give the garden a kick start.
2. As I repositioned my photos, paintings and wall art for a change, I've noticed the cobwebs which have accumulated from the cornices, light shades and above the cupboards.  - That was the next job.
3.  I need to start sorting through my wardrobe now too.  The ski jackets which I've been wearing on the sidelines of football and netball matches can now be stored. Tops, shirts, skirts, dresses, sandals, can all emerge from hiding replacing the leather boots and woolen jumpers, scarves etc.
4. Sorting through my favorite spring recipes and planning the salads, quiches, platters and bbq favorites is always fun. 
5. As the diary starts to fill now with the warmer weather approaching, it's time to plan some social activities.  Who's turn is it for christmas this year?  Who do we want to catch up with before the end of the year? A couple of friends and I are organising a big summer bash at the beach so better get a guest list together.
6. It's well into third term now so I better get the summer uniforms out for the kids and check they fit as I probably need to order some more.
7. I know it's probably a word we dont want to mention just yet but I am planning christmas presents now too. It takes the stress away and avoids the mad rush at the end which has caught me by surprise before and I vowed then - never again!
