The weather here in the Big Apple has been very unsettled. While it warmed up a bit yesterday, Wednesday’s temperature lingered in the 40′s, and today, even if it is predicted that the morning is good enough, it will all go downhill after 2:00 p.m. Rain is in the forecast which will last till Saturday early afternoon.
I have yet to see signs of Spring right here in our neighborhood. It does not help that we’re living by the ocean, which is why it is always cooler here. None of the tulips in our landscaped private parks bloomed yet, the trees have no signs of leaves about to sprout. I don’t see any vibrant Spring color just yet.
That is the reason why Spring cleaning is not yet on my to-do list. I have indefinitely postponed my usual closet spring re-organization, as I have yet to bring our cold weather gears to the cleaners. I always make sure I have them back (except my fur coat which goes to professional storage) from the cleaners before I do my closet reorg to make sure that I won’t have to dig back in again. Same goes with footwear, which by the way for me, is a bigger chore to hurdle. I wonder why we can’t be contented with just a few pairs each season! When that happens, it will surely make my life less complicated at the change of each season. Do you keep your out of season footwear stored in their boxes? I do, and that is why it’s such a chore for me. After every thing is said and done with my closet re-organization, oftentimes, my legs feel achy from going up and down the ladder inside our walk-in closet. I feel like a dog with painful joints that would definitely benefit from Rimadyl (just kidding).
I thought the weather would warm up by now already, but I guess it hasn’t, *sigh*
I guess its been up and down… hopefully it will start warming up again!
Spring cleaning eh! We’ve have three days of it here but I’m not allowed to have anything to do with it as men don’t understand thing slike that. So I just let the women do the business, that’s how it is here.
The warm weather will just hit you any day now and the chores will be out of the way and a ‘spring in your step when it does – After the aches and pains have gone of course.
Take Care Juliana and don’t over do things.
I know. It’s April already. Where is spring? I lived in Ohio for 10 years and I knew. Spring doesn’t officially arrive until May.

@ Joey Logano
oh yes, we can only hope that it will warm up sooner than later. I’m just afraid, Spring will go by so fast that summer will be here sooner than scheduled.
@ Martin
that is nice, as you’re not allowed to share the chore haha. can we exchange places? my husband does not take part in spring cleaning neither.
I hope that warmer, no jacket day will be here soon, so that as you said, the spring in my step is not far behind.
have a great weekend!
@ Carl
at least we’re not the only ones here patiently awaiting the real spring temps.
You know I have been asking the same question. I think it will soon start being hot on Christmas and cold in the summer very soon. Isn’t this called the paradigm shift?
@ jay
that’s funny, how paradigm shift is now also applied to the weather’s pattern.
