Free Spring printables




And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
—Percy Bysshe Shelley
My first hycanith has bloomed.
Spring has sprung at Greenacres and not a moment to soon. We have been outside enjoying this wonderful time of year and accessing the damages winter has done to the property. A little bittersweet but whatcha gonna do?
While cleaning out my closet I found black mold growing on the wall which came from the damaged shingles and roof. Although it was a green winter, it came with alot of flash freezing and wind storms that were 100mph. Not good for roofs and tree apparently. Half-way through fixing the roof, my husband noticed the pipe that carries the bathroom and kitchen water to the septic had a small crack because it was placed at ground level.
I wonder why the previous owners would do such a silly thing knowing it would crack at ground level but the fun never ends where these previous owners are concerned!.
Like planting a pine tree right next to the house and making it top heavy by removing all of the lower limbs. After watching this tree bend like Beckham during these windstorms and damage the eaves trough by clogging them up with pine needles, we decided it had to go!.
It was the tallest tree on the property and within 5 minutes, the top half was pulled to the ground.

Bye Bye tree!
Now comes the fun part of removing it and starting our love shack renovation. I have been waiting for this since we moved here. It will become a place I can sit down and watch the girls play without swatting flies. Swing on a hammock, watch tv and enjoy this country living...sans bugs!.
In the meantime I am going to continue my Spring cleaning and organizing. I found these helpful and beautiful FREE printables to help me get it all done.
As the girls get bigger, I find the less they listen and was soooooo happy to find these printables of chores.
