Happy Friday to all!
I hope this finds you doing well and your week wrapping up nicely.  Have you had your fair share of April showers??  We sure have - well above average.  We are probably going down as the coldest April on history and the rain total won't be far behind.  We actually had snow at my house again last night!

After the long winter months, I am eager to have my windows clean and shining and letting all that beautiful sunshine in.  Of course in my neck of the woods, we are still having above average rainfall, so it might be a bit yet before I get to wash my windows. 
However, when the rain stops I will be ready to go, thanks to some wonderful tips that I read on TLC's website.   Here are a few of the ideas that they had...

Happy Friday!
 
I hope that everyone is having a nice end to their week and a good beginning to April. 
Here in the PNW we are so ready for a new month.  March 2011 went down as one of the wettest in history.  I think we can skip the April showers and just go straight to the May flowers 'round these parts!
Hopefully you are having a wonderful spring.  And if you are, don't be greedy - send some our way :)
