What Are You Looking Forward To In Spring?

[Numbheart 108]

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?

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

- RV glamping

- hiking

- paddle boarding on Lake Tahoe

- floating the river

- bikinis (for the first time in 25+ years)

- outdoor concerts

- hopefully not being cold ALL of the time

And a vacation to Maui in July 😬😬

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.

Tulips blooming

Going hiking with less weight on my body
