To all my northern friends: Are you going a little stir crazy from all the snow that’s getting dumped on us this year? Sure when I was 10 I would have had a ball with the amount of snow we’ve had already. But my patience is wearing thin and I’ve done all the forced winter activities that I can stomach this year.
I’m ready for SPRING!
Just this morning my husband and I had a great talk about all the things we’re going to do with the back yard this year. One of the things I want is a really comfortable patio set. No more cheap-0 sets… I want to be able to work outside in comfort and entertain guests there more often than not – especially when the family room is overrun with my messy teenagers.
The one good thing I can say about winter is that it makes us so unbelievably thankful for our spring and summer seasons. It’s like all is right with the world when those first spring buds start to open up.
It’s probably nature’s way of trying to keep up sane. Push us to the brink with never ending snow, gray skies and more snow, with some freezing rain thrown in for good measure. Then just when we’re about ready for the straight jacket…tease us with some sunny blue skies and warmer breezes…
Even now, just a few steps behind me, my big, burly husband is about to break into tears of joy because he’s just spotted a beautiful red cardinal feeding from the bird feeder out back. Note to self: take husband out for a drink tonight.
Not quite straight jacket time yet…but spring better get here soon!
Oh goodness yes! I am so ready for spring I can’t even stand it. I went to Costco today and saw all their patio furniture, garden stuff, etc and was ready to lay down a fortune…unfortunately buying it does not mean spring will come, LOL.
LOL Tiffany! You always find the best products out there, that’s one of the reasons I love visiting your blog! I’ll be watching for your spring buys!
