Friday favorites: spring ahead!

Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday for many of us in the U.S., or as I like to say Spring Ahead! For me, Spring Ahead isn’t just about turning the clocks ahead one hour, it’s more a signal of hope: Spring Ahead!

As in, colorful flowers ahead:

Spring Ahead!

As in, outdoor running ahead:

Spring Ahead!

As in, sandals ahead:

As in, hiking ahead:

As in Hawkes Landing ahead:

  • Friday favorites: rest and relaxation

    Happy Friday! This week has been one of rest and relaxation for me. I took the week off work, so hubby and I could spend it at Hawkes Landing, enjoying the last of the beautiful fall leaves. So I hope you aren’t tired of fall leaf pictures, because here we go again… (I did include…

  • Friday favorites: accentuate the positive

    Here we are at Friday again. It’s been a challenging week, but the thing I love about Friday Favorites is it reminds me to look for the good things–and there are always good things. In the words of Baloo, the bear from Jungle Book, “You’ve got to accentuate the positive; eliminate the negative.” How could you…

  • Friday favorites: signs of spring

    This Friday Favorites is all about the signs of spring (well mostly about the signs of spring; I might have thrown in some other random stuff that made me smile). Let’s start with the flowers. I just love tulips. They pop up in the most beautiful colors and shapes just when you need them most. And…

  • Friday favorites: warm weather at last!

    Finally a full week of warm weather! It’s so much easier to feel grateful when the sun is shining. And it didn’t hurt that we had several family events this week. First was a barbecue at the elementary school, where I got to see three of my granddaughters. Then, of course, another weekend at Hawkes…

  • Thank you notes – May 2019

    It’s easy to get so caught up in the hustle of life that we forget to appreciate the small miracles that happen every day. I created the monthly Thank You Notes post to help me relive the happy moments, savor the gratitude, and share them with you. I hope they also inspire you to think about…

  • Friday favorites: girls trip

    This week I had the pleasure of going on a girls trip with my sister Cindy and my best friend Margie. (This photo is actually from last year’s trip. I gave the girls a break from my constant picture-taking this year.) We rented a townhouse in beautiful Park City. It had all the comforts of…

  1. Looking forward to:
    1. Planting garden/flowers
    2. Opening up the camper again & getting ready for another fun camping year
    3. Sitting on patio with hubby while he is grilling (may be an adult beverage involved too!)
    4. Seeing our neighbors again!

    Favorite thing:
    JUST BEING OUTSIDE AND GETTING SOME SUNSHINE!

    What made me smile this week:
    Just knowing spring is around the corner, has made me smile lately…. I AM SOOOO READY!

    1. Me too Cindy! All of the things you noted ring true for me too. (Well, we don’t have a camper, but we open the cabin.) I’ve got a pretty serious case of Spring Fever right now.

  2. Fortunately, there is no snow to dig out of where we live. In fact, we have lots of sunshine and
    wear sandals much of the winter. What I’m really hoping for are spring showers since we didn’t have much of the wet stuff the last several months. THAT would make me smile big time!

  3. Thank you for the reminder of Daylight Savings ahead. I always forget….until I am early (or late) for something! I like your focus on hope and optimism….I feel it too!

    1. Daylight Saving snuck up on me this year too. Luckily, they sent out a reminder at work. It is a beautiful spring day here. I know winter isn’t quite done with us yet, but I love the sneak peeks at what’s to come.
