Tidy Up Around the House

It's summer, so if you were thinking about spring cleaning, you're a little late. But any time is a good time to spruce things up around the house. Whether you are trying to sell your home or not, taking care of these chores will make things nice for YOU (yes, you deserve it!):

1. Make sure your entrance way says “Hey, look at me!”
2. Prune dead limbs from trees.
3. Paint (or touch up) exterior, and repair screens and windows.
4. Clean your windows.
5. Check A/C and heating systems.
6. Fix leaky faucets, toilets, and faulty lights.
7. Vacuum drapes and carpets.
8. Repair wall cracks, re-caulk bathrooms and kitchen.
9. Clear out closets.
10. Remove excess furniture.
11. Mow lawn, edge driveway and walkways
12. Ensure windows, doors, and locks work smoothly.
13. Weed flower beds and trim shrubs.
14. Throw out junk from garage and storage areas.
15. Clean lawn furniture.
16. If you have a pool, make it crystal clear.

Looks like a pretty good "honey do" list if you ask me! Now, get off the internet and get to work! ;)

Summer Concerts

What do wonderful music, comfy blankets and sumptuous picnics have in common? All three can be found in the Botanic Gardens for the Fort Worth Symphony "Concerts in the Garden" series. Of course, you don't have to stretch out on a blanket (there are tables and chairs available), but it adds to the garden atmosphere. Let the Beatles, Rolling Stones or Eagles entertain you under the stars.  Concerts are performed from now until July 5. For more information, check this out: http://www.fwsymphony.org/concerts/concerts-in-the-garden.asp

 

You can find other (FREE!!!) concerts around town through the Masterworks Concert Series sponsored by Arts Council Northeast. Check out their website for artists, times and locations all over Northeast Tarrant County: http://www.artscouncilnortheast.org/masterworks_concert_series.aspx

 

Don't miss out on some great music this summer!
