Thirteen Things I Anticipate This Spring

1. Chickens! Yes. That’s my big exciting thing coming up! I’m getting some peeps!
2. Growing daylight. It’s nice to wake up after a long day of sleeping and still see some daylight. Makes me feel less like a vampire. (Not, mind you, that I have anything against vampires…)
3. My first-ever big veggie garden. Last year, I could just do some herb gardening in pots. This year I have a huge garden plot, and I can’t wait!
4. My first ever flower garden. Maybe this year, my father won’t stop by with his super herbicide and kill them all off in his quest to rid the world of weeds.
5. Warmer weather. I’m looking forward to shedd the long sleeves and scarves and the heavy coat!
6. Better fruit selection at the stores!
7. Rain that doesn’t turn into ice or snow. One of my favorite scents is the way the air takes on that ‘it just rained’ scent. That’s one thing I miss terribly about Washington. It just doesn’t rain enough here.
8. New Clothes. I’ll be needing a few new shirts and things this spring or early summer. Woohoo!
9. The lack of credit card debt! Extra money! I’ll be putting most of that toward new furniture. I need a couch and a bed and a decent dining table, and maybe some new end/coffee table type things.
10. More energy. Something about this time of year just gets me going on all my projects.
11. The return of greenery - things will grow! Grass and leaves and flowers. Oh my.
12. Cleaning out the garage. I both loathe and look forward to this. The place is a mess, but it’s just too cold and dark right now for me to do much about it.
13. If I’m lucky, a week-long vacation!

5. We had the warm weather here for 2 days but it seems to have gone away again. Hope it stays warm longer where you are.

6. What a wonderful list! I wish i could have a chicken at my house but neighborhood association wont allow it. I cant wait to get the garden and flowers going ( I bought a bleeding heart plant today) and we cleaned out part of the garage today. Enjoyed your list very much.
