Recent mild spring weather officially signaled the end of winter and threats of crazy snowfall for much of the United States.

So, who needs an excuse to go outside? How about to take part in a relatively obscure observance - No Housework Day?

The observance not only is a chance to enjoy doing anything other than household chores, but to encourage someone else to do them for you – at least for a day, according to one Web site.

“Housework is a daily, seemingly endless and repetitive groups of tasks. It often goes unrecognized and worst of all..... taken for granted. But, watch out! If the dishes aren't done, or there's no clean towels, somebody takes note,” according to www.holidayinsights.com, which provides information on obscure holidays.

Rochester, N.Y., resident Bob Matthews started the Web site with his family two decades ago, according to a story in the Ottawa Citizen.

“It became a fun hobby," Matthews said, “especially on those cold winter nights -- you know what western New York is like -- and slow seasons for my business. It took about three years and literally thousands of hours of research."
