It's mid-February.  Is it too early to start thinking about Spring Cleaning?  The cold weather seems to be lingering on and on where I live, making it hard to accomplish much outdoors.  Maybe starting indoors is the answer for those of us who have the urge to organize something.  Think of your inside chores the same way you do your outside chores.

Love gardening? When was the last time you repotted your houseplants, or gave them a good pruning?  Pull out those dead leaves.  Trim back a few of the unwieldy branches.  Give the leaves a good dusting.  If you have to repot them, find something beautiful that fits your decor and gives you fresh feelings of Spring.
Want to rake some leaves? I know several people who have piles of clothes on their laundry room floor, resembling the drifts of dead leaves stuck in the corners and alcoves of our yards.  Grab your laundry basket and start sorting!  You would spend an entire Saturday outside if it was warm enough.  But since it's still cold, spend that day finally getting caught up on the laundry you've been avoiding.  Use that time to purge through some of the clothes you haven't worn in several months.  As you put the clean clothes away, put some of your winter clothes in storage and start pulling out the Spring favorites.  When you can finally see the laundry room floor, give it a good sweep or vacuum, and spray your favorite air freshener around the room.  I can smell Spring in the air already!

There's only so far I can take this analogy.  But it's a start, right?  Spring will be here soon enough, and we can talk about some actual outdoor projects then.
