Thank goodness spring is coming, I really need the sunny spring weather. Did you know that spending 30 minutes or more outside in warm, sunny spring weather links to a higher mood and better memory? It's also easy to find fresh produce during spring. It's also time for some road trip don't you think? How about you, what are you looking forward to in spring?

Oh my goodness, what AREN'T I looking forward to???

• patio season
• dress weather
• driving with the windows/sunroof down and the music turned waaay up
• patio season
• daylight beyond 8pm
• smell of cut grass
• patio season
• walking to the corner store/grocery/coffee shop instead having to drive
• open toe shoes and pedicures

...did I mention patio season????

All of what @ms.sss said plus...

- RV glamping

- hiking

- paddle boarding on Lake Tahoe

- floating the river

I have this perfect Friday in mind when they finally get 'round to opening our cafés. I'm going to leave work early, meet up with some friends at a great little place with outdoor seating. Rosé, a cheese board, having a laugh, watching the city flow by.

It'll turn into late afternoon and someone will invite us for a dinner party. We'll walk there, meet new people. Later, we'll hit a cheesy dive bar and play some pool and go home while it's getting light out.

Sounds like perfect Friday all right. Can I be one of your friends?!?!?!? But I may stay out a little longer....

Patio season. Hilarious @ms.sss. I laugh because I know for you that means drinking cocktails outside with friends. Love your style. ?

It’s autumn here & I have 6 months to wait until it’s spring again. Waah! It’s my favourite season.

I am looking fwd to being able to walk around my neighborhood, walking the dogs. I haven't been able to do that in 7 years. I had to use a cane, or a wheelchair to get around. Now that I am able to walk without it, I want to just walk anywhere I can!

Looking forward to not dreading warm weather because I want to hide my body in tunics and coats, etc.

Putting the hammock back out

Tulips blooming

Going hiking with less weight on my body

all the trees leafing out and blooming (sorry to anyone with spring allergies ☹)

The beginning of berry season

Chewing food, being done with the tummy healing portion of my diet

Eating a garden fresh salad
