They have more than 25 years experience as antique dealers and appraisers and have been teaching similar courses for the past 15 years, both at McHenry County College and the County Historical Museum in Union.

After sedlng many projects die from a lack of adequate planning, i know the value of a developing a warm-weather strategy. Theoretically, it should help. Take a look at your lawn. It looks like you'll have grass again this year, doesn't it? Well, don't just look at it; get it ready for the first cutting. After you've taken the lawnmower to your local professional, begin collecting the sticks, rocks and beverage containers that have accumulated in your yard. They are much easier to find when the grass doesn't cover your feet. Also, you shouldn't have have to be careful of where you step in your yard. If you do, you have household pets. And if you have household pets, you'll have to disperse the piles of con­ centrated fertilizer they deposited over the winter. It isn't a pleasant job; try talking your spouse into doing it. If you see any thatch scurrying underfoot, kill them! Thatch travels in packs, and once they cover your lawn, they're bound nuu v vuiii un u*3. But, according to the vernal equinox, w spring. However, it's not too lite to begin] attack for the coming seven months ofwa iproc While lawn care is a full-time job, there are other tasks to tend to in the spring. like cleaning out the garage. Get a dumpster from your garbage man, then throw out anything you haven't used in two years. Make a clean start. That's what spring is all about. An orderly garage is a happy garage. And you'll find you do have room io open your car aoorsLs You also may want to consider washing all the windows in your house so you can clearly enjoy watcning tne earth come to life. But, window washing is optional. Before you begin that be so busy doing other consider the following: You'll won't have time to enjoy project, cor things, you looking out your windows, so, it seems to be a waste of time. Secondly, dirty windows reduce the intensity of sunlight, thereby keeping your house cooler in the summer. Before you do anything to the lawn, take your mower to a professional. Make him start it. You may have to spend a few bucks, but it is better that he pull the cord a thousand times than you. Save yourself the aggravation. That's what I'm going to do this year. I put off starting my lawnmower last year as long as possible-until June. It was a mistake. Most farmers have their first hay cutting done by then. I didn't. And I paid for it. Lawnmowers are not designed to cut knee-high grass. to cut wood later. pruning your trees. Then think again, if you for your fireplace, do it now or pay the woodman Then there's the garden. Oh, the garden. Avoid it. Wait until the fall and go to a farmers' market. Gardening is a lot like the lawnmower. Let someone else put up with the aggravation.
