Dealing With The Weeds

Spring is here, a reminder of longer days and warmer temperatures to come. It seems to have appeared instantly like the magician‘s hat produces a rabbit. I also think the same magician (mean spirited no doubt) waved his wand to quickly grow the bizillion weeds that have suddenly appeared all over our yard.  Did it really happen overnight? Where have I been? Truly wrapped up in my daily life as to ignore my surroundings?


Yep, I know I’ll have to take head on the challenges of putting my yard in order to bring it back to its tranquil beauty. There will be weed pulling, fertilizers to feed, edging, mowing, planting of new, and upkeep throughout the next few seasons until Winter settles in and I can ignore things again.

It’s much like this for seller’s who find themselves facing years of accumulation (weeds) and suddenly having to dig in and dispose of unwanted clutter to uncover the great features (landscape) of their home before selling. As a stager, I remind my clients that clearing the weeds brings forth the fruits of their labor, a thriving landscape of beauty that will attract the buyers. Once the home is sold they can move on and settle into their new home for a long Winter’s nap.
