Believe it or not it’s Spring!

bird in hat

I saw this pic on Pinterest and it just cracked me up! Yes folks believe it or not today is the first day of Spring! And “spring” is the theme behind this week’s #FridayFive link-up with Courtney, Mar and Cynthia.

I know Spring will get here…eventually and when it does, here are just a few things I’m looking forward to:

Five Things for Spring!

Outdoor runs — Of course this goes without saying! The thought of running without worrying about snow mounds or icy roads sounds like heaven!

Less Layers — Oh to step outside without looking like I’m a participant in the Iditarod 🙂

Gardening — I cannot wait to get back into my gardens. Spring always means multiple trips to my favorite nursery with my mom – seriously, we can spend hours there! And, something tells me I may have many plants to replace after this winter.

Lacrosse games — You all know how big lax is in the RWA household. Some of us cannot wait as you can see.

Grilling – As much as I have enjoyed making the most of my crockpot for the past few months, I cannot wait to fire up the grill.

OK your turn…what are you looking forward to?

  2. Ooh… I hadn’t thought about grilling, but I look forward to being able to do that, too! I’m tired of using my oven and slow cooker. It’s so much easier to prep meals during the warmer months.

    I’m looking forward to travel, racing, and spring fashions. There are so many cute sandals for sale right now!

  3. Love the better running weather in the Spring! Grilling is a good one! I’m looking forward to Spring Break and my birthday! 🙂

  8. I’m enjoying running with fewer layers than I have the past few months. This also means less laundry! All good!

  9. I love grilling fresh veggies. It’s about time to dust of the grill and be able to use it.

  16. We don’t get much of a “spring” here. We go from winter to summer within a week or three. Still, it’s nice that summer vacation is almost here and that we can start counting down to the end of school.
