Grand Junction’s annual spring clean-up begins north of North Avenue on April 3 and south of North Avenue on April 10.
Springing forward — as we have this weekend — always puts a spring in my step, a smile heart and a little giggle in my wiggle.

Thursday, March 2 was an important date of note.
Talking about the flaky and fickle weather gets kind of old, so let’s talk about something else that happens in the sky this time of year.
Welp, I have spent the past few days down a rabbit hole of angst that began with remembering tomorrow is Presidents’ Day and most recently has seen me prone on the couch, bereft over my inability to construct crossword puzzles.
Valentine’s Day this past week and, the snow that flurried, swirled and wrecked havoc, reminded me of this Your Town column that first published Feb. 14, 2016.
The Super Bowl, as explained by a visitor from another planet:
It’s a tale of polar opposites.
It was a long and mournful wail that resonates with your soul. With each drawn-out, slow pull of the whistle, our sympathies grew.
The calendar says it’s Sunday, Jan. 22, but it feels more like Monday, Jan. 58th.
I learned about an interesting 80th anniversary this past week: On January 18, 1943, Claude R. Wickard, who at the time was U.S secretary of agriculture and head of the War Foods Administration, declared it illegal to sell sliced bread.
We’re half way through January and, so far, it’s been an interesting adventure.
Since 1976, a Michigan university has released an annual list of words that deserve to be “banished” from our vocabularies because of “misuse, overuse and uselessness.”
‘Twas the Sunday before Christmas and all through the house ...
oH! oH! oH!

Researchers have found that being grateful is good for your health.
Wednesday morning’s wind gusts had me collecting the last of the yard décor as I watched the dark and ominous clouds approach from the west. The thermometer read a mild 60 degrees, but the winds were bringing chilly, wet weather.
If, like me, you have survived on a diet of mostly fingernails and stomach acid this week and worn your fingerprints smooth hitting refresh on pages of election coverage, then allow me to tell you of the solace I’ve found in the ukulele.
Many of us will visit cemeteries this week in observance of Veterans Day.

I didn’t mean to ghost you here, but with all this news goblin’ up space I only have room to carve out a bit of advice to all the ghouls and boos, young and old.
A new friend asked me last weekend: “Do you like crafts?”
