Will this winter go down as the winter that never ended? Each time we're teased with a blast of 'warmth' (let's face it, even 50 feels pretty warm after a winter of sub-zero temps) winter seems to whack us in the back of the head with a good old open hand slap. After much anticipation of Spring's first day, we are once again rudely reminded of how we have absolutely no control over the weather. Right now, I'm trying to figure out if I should go out to plow tonight, wait until morning, or just say to heck with it -- everyone has been driving in this crap all winter, a few inches that will melt tomorrow isn't anything hardy New Englanders can't handle.
Well, I for one am not going to let it get me down. There is just too much to be excited about. The Seacoast Home and Garden show is this weekend at the UNH Whittemore Center. I urge you to come by and visit with us and talk plants, stone, landscape and garden design. Bring to us your specific problems and we'll give the best free advice you've ever had. If you act quick enough we'll even pick up the cover charge with a free ticket. Hurry though, those aren't going to last long. If you can't make the UNH Show, we'll be at the Dover Ice Arena the following weekend with the same level of excitement!
What else? Well I know some of you are "with me" as we move towards Spring, because the phone is ringing with folks interested in stonework, plants and landscaping. I have a feeling that a lot of people are ready to move forward with the projects they've been putting off for quite a while now. It just sorta feels like people have been sitting on their hands, waiting for the economy to turn around, and want someone to tell them that it's 'ok' to spend a little money on something you want. We'll, I'm here to tell you it's OK! Seriously though, I feel the same way myself and we've put off some new purchases as well (trucks, bobcat, etc etc) just because we want to be careful. Hopefully we can all do our part here soon to help turn the economy around and help keep our neighbors employed. Remember, when you do purchase, purchase locally and buy USA!
If I have you intrigued about landscaping and outdoor home improvement, we do have some exciting and genuine cost saving opportunities this spring on plant material (larger trees mostly) and concrete paving stones. Honestly, serious money to be saved if you are thinking about a project. Contact me if you want to know more.
So think spring, and come see us this weekend on the home show circuit!
