I had such a long To-Do list for this winter, and have accomplished almost none of it.

I love every minute of it. About winter into spring, I would say that I slosh into it, because I'm always moving (a bit too fast) on that slippery, slushy snow trying to hurry my way into spring.

I mark spring by my daughter's birthday, which for her nearly 17 years (Feb 27th) has almost without exception been a beautiful spring day. After that I watch for daffodils and robins, and then those gorgeous Bradford pear trees that declare spring has arrived!Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-45026096996862464482011-02-23T18:16:43.420-06:002011-02-23T18:16:43.420-06:00Pat,

Well, as you know, I definitely buy flowers in the supermarket! <br /><br />Get out my brightest kitchen tablecloths, like yellow and blue, and put faux yellow tulips on the windowsill in the kitchen along with cobalt blue glass pieces.<br /><br />Work on my "backyard" and "gardening" scrapbook...clip photos from magazines of how I'd like things to look around here. This is FUN and very therapeutic. Some even come to pass.<br /><br />Keep b-u-s-y! Right now, I'm working on expanding my eBay business so I'm taking lots of photographs of "things" I want to sell and writing descriptions. This keeps me VERY busy.<br /><br />Continue to work on the daunting task of organizing things in the house...one drawer and closet at a time.<br /><br />Plan one-day excursions I want to take when the weather breaks into sweet spring.<br /><br />And, of course, write, write, write, write, write. <br /><br />Before I know it, WOWSERS, the bridge is crossed and it's SPRING!!!!!!!
