Spring is here... in Ontario, I believe the weather has turned to the point where the snow isn't returning until next winter. You can enjoy your warm seasons so much better when you are in "warm season" mode. Here are my tips for adding 10% to your warm months each year.

- PUT AWAY. We store things for the winter and for the summer. Christmas decorations, winter coats, boots, skates, snow shovels, etc. Get these things in storage THIS WEEK... it will get it all overwith and you'll start enjoying the new season sooner.

- TAKE OUT. Unpack the patio furniture, find the spring jackets, dust off the bicycles, pull out the roller blades, unearth the gardening tools and turn on the outside water hoses. Take out all the things you'll eventually take out over time THIS WEEK... get into Spring!!

- Share a dumpster with neighbours. Offer to host a dumpster for 2 days with your closest 5 neighbours. Offer to split the costs and allow each one of you to get rid of the winter junk storage that no one bothered with.

- Sit in the sun. The next sunny day over 15 C, get out on a lawn chair and soak in some sun. It's good for the soul! This will kick start the relaxation part of the season.

Best of luck and enjoy the season!
