Spring Like

I know it's not officially Spring for another couple of weeks.  But today is one of those days that tries to fool you into thinking Winter is over.  You know those days, right?

Sunny.  Bright blue sky.  Temperatures in the upper 60s.  A bit breezey.

The grand baby and I ate our lunch on the back porch today.  He enjoyed a peanut butter sandwich and pretzels with a juice box.  I had a sliced apple, a clementine and some walnuts.

It's been so nice; we're still here.  He's playing with bubbles while I write this on my tablet.

Hoping we have many more days like this before the heat of summer sets in, chasing us back inside.

Springing Ahead

Spring is in the air my friends! We have made it through the dark, cold winter.  The big warm up is in front of us.

Despite the fact that they are forecasting a chance of a wintry mix early next week; I am choosing to look forward to the warmer days ahead and planning my Spring To-Do list!

Winter Reflections

It's official friends!  Winter is over!  Well, at least according to the calendar, but we all know that old man Winter will likely try to hang on a bit longer.  But the schedule says it's time for Spring, and while I don't mind Winter it is time for it to move on and give Spring her time in the spot light.

Now that winter is wrapped up, I wanted to take a look at my Winter To-Do list and see how many items I am able to mark off for this season.

• Go for a walk in the snow
  
• Begin working to building up inventory for Queen B's Busy Work
• Make homemade cocoa mix
• Finish at least the first book in the Game of Thrones series I have not finished it, but I am working on it!
• Work out more frequently
•  Bake some bread (I've got a bread maker around here somewhere)
• Come up with a brilliant Valentine idea to surprise the Man of the House
• Clean out and organize the storage closet (seems like a good project for a cold winter's day) 

Not too shabby. Now... on to Spring!!

Ready For Spring Flowers

My poor little toes have been begging for a fresh polish look for ... well, longer than I care to admit! My daughter created this cute bee design and painted it on my toe nails!

Now.. it just needs to warm up enough for this Queen B to wear some flip flops and show these off!
