Check luggage and tags. Make sure you have a way to secure bags once airport security has gone through them. Also include:
|
- Prepare for vacation. Schedule time off. Make reservations and schedule flights for summer months.
- Depending on region, do spring yard clean up. Edge beds.
- Top dress and reseed lawns. Mow when grass gets to be 4" high. Don´t mow it too short.
- Fertilize almost everything.
- Time to start transplanting cool season veggies to garden.
- Build arbors and trellises before transplanting or sowing seeds for vines and gourds.
- Cut back herbs.
- Organize your paper life. Root out and recycle old magazines, newspapers, and assorted mementos. Build a new file system or clear out old files that are past being useful.
- Prepare taxes or have them done, if you haven´t already. File electronically this year. If you owe, write the check and prepare to mail...on April 15 and not a minute sooner.
- As spring starts, check your basement for cracks or leaks. If you see moisture, call a professional to check it out. Many homeowner´s insurance policies no longer cover fungus or mildew damage, so sealing basements is more important than ever.
