Spring is really here! Living in Michigan just because you get to March 21st on the calendar does not mean that you’re experiencing spring weather. I’m happy to say that we are finally experiencing spring weather here in Michigan.
Along with the start of spring come things that we have to do to get it all in order for the season. So many people like to pend time outside with friends and family so now’s the time to get the grill and the patio ready for entertaining.
Pull out the grill, dust it off, clean it and get ready to fire it up! Be sure to get your charcoal, lighter fluid, and other grilling goodies for the season and store them properly in your garage.
Next, get the patio ready. Make sure you’ve got a storage chest for the seat cushions-nobody wants to cart them off to the garage or the basement every time you’re done with them to keep them dry and clean. Visit your local Home Depot or Lowe’s and check out the array of patio boxes/chests available. Choose one with a water resistant liner and that can stay outdoors all year long. There are some pretty decorative looking pieces out there and most can double as an extra surface for drinks and snacks.
To round out your entertaining you’ll need an ice chest. I came across one that is made of insect and weather resistant cedar. It can also double as a side table when the top is on. Get more info on it here.
Now all you have to do is invite friends and family over and enjoy!
