Springtime

Yes, I know that spring is already here and that it officially arrived in March.  For me, however, it does not really feel like spring until this week, this second week in April.  Why this week?  It just seems that the lovely spring weather finally gets here to stay about now.  We have had some already, but now it's here for good.

I have plans this week to change out my children's wardrobes from winter to summer clothes.  Of course, there is a whole lot more to it than that.  I have to sort the clothes:  the ones to keep, the ones to sell at the consignment sale in the fall; the clothes they will never wear again (isn't that a sad thought?) and the ones they may be able to wear again next year.  While I am at it, I plan to go through their closets, too, and de-clutter.  After all of that, I need to tackle my closet.  There are clothes in there I haven't worn in years, and it is time to bite the bullet and get rid of them.

I know what Mrs. Darling says about spring cleaning, but I don't think this applies because I cannot do this before the weather changes.  Besides, I am not really cleaning anything!

What about you?  When does spring arrive in actuality for you?  What activities wait until it really and truly feels like spring?
