In my more idealistic, must-do-it-or-somebody-might-think-you're-less-than-perfect phase, spring cleaning was a personal mandate. Now you could say I don't give a rip.<br /><br />Your windows look very nice. You can come over and do mine now, thank you very much.

Spring means it's time to work outside, and indoor chores have to wait till a rainy day. I did clean my birdbaths today, and I cleaned out birdhouses earlier so nesting birds would have fresh homes.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047593469595623920.post-86766832828890383152010-03-19T20:14:34.082-07:002010-03-19T20:14:34.082-07:00It is very important that your hummingbird feeders...It is very important that your hummingbird feeders remain clean. It is recommended that the feeder be cleaned every three to five days, more often if the temperature is extremely hot in order to prevent the nectar solution from spoiling. Spoiled nectar solution can drive the hummingbirds away from your yard because they no longer trust your food source and it will be hard to entice them back to your yard.<br /><br />An easy way to clean the feeder to place it in your dishwasher and let it be cleaned whenever you run it. You can also use a solution of diluted bleach and water or even vinegar and water.<br /><br />If you would like much more information about hummingbirds, please click the link below.

It's incredible! Those are my colours, and that's my heritage (half, the other half being Huguenot, protestant french). The tattoo I got on my ankle duing a trip to Kansas city? A cat, done in Celtic design. Guess I'd better rattle some payments owing, as I think I really need that! You'll be happy to know that I have forsythia...indoors. But if this weather continues, we'll have outdoor bud break soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047593469595623920.post-38513809648692976892010-03-18T18:53:21.865-07:002010-03-18T18:53:21.865-07:00yes, I have been washing windows and you probably ...yes, I have been washing windows and you probably have hit on the real reason why spring cleaning is so important- you have to be able to see all the flowers and fruit trees starting to bloom- I washed my windows last weekend.<br />And thanks too Cindee for putting some photos of my art on your blog.

It is a beautiful way to dance.<br /><br />It really is amazing how we have a hard time seeing the creativity and beauty within us. A lot of times it's because of things said to us or that we were taught when we were younger. <br /><br />We need to break free and fly.<br /><br />Happy Spring ~ Happy Creating ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
