Where is the love?

Wow, what a weekend!
Beautiful weather, neighbors cooking out, little bit of yard work with chores around the house, and .......... a whole lot of watching the Masters.
Even if you don't like Tiger or Phil, the course at Augusta National is breathtaking. Azaleas, well manicured fairways, tall pines, picturesque water features and Amen corner. Majestic!
CBS creates this incredible visual package for the Masters that makes the other golf tournaments look secondary. There is nothing more eloquent than the sights and sounds of Augusta National on Master's weekend. Nothing.
So now what? We hid easter eggs for the little kids, the older ones slipped away for spring break, Mom cooked the big meal (ham, green beans, potato salad and deviled eggs) and we were able to see golf's most magnificent wonder, The Masters.
Where do we go from here?
Well, if you are like me, you spend the next two months working in the yard (God, if I could get my lawn to look like the greens at Augusta, right?)
And, we look at the home repairs and improvements that we know that need to be addressed. Roof is fading, maybe a small leak around the chimmney flashing. The siding needs to be painted or replaced and we always put this project on hold.
Not a priority, not yet.
It can wait. But, can it.
If our home is the biggest investment that we will ever make (unless you have six kids going to Duke or Stanford) then why do we prolong these projects that not only protect our investment, but show a strong return on our investment? Where is the love?
Can you imagine if every homeowner took one project that is on their list to do this spring?
It could be the deck that you have been wanting to build in the backyard. The kitchen needs a makeover or the replacing your windows is a must.
First, we could check it off the list, Mom will be happy and our neighbors will be motivated to fix up their property.
A win-win for everyone and before you know it............there goes the neighborhood!   
So, where is the love?
