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:

As in, sandals ahead:

    Here we are again–Fabulous Friday! A perfect opportunity for looking back on all the happy things that happened this week. What could be happier than a Yahtzee with sixes that leads to a win while at the cabin! (Yes, we’re playing on a paper plate. We’ve played so much up here that we’ve worn out the tray…

  • On the road again: training for a half-marathon

    Dead Last is greater than Did Not Finish, which trumps Did Not Start. This week I officially started training for my first half-marathon in nearly four years. Yikes! I’ve run some 5k’s and 10k’s since then, but I thought I was done with halves. Now here I am preparing to do it again, and I…

    Happy Friday! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Actually, it’s been a beautiful week around here–weatherwise and otherwise! 🙂 I hope yours was the same. Saturday was perfect football weather (yes, you can find football in the spring if you know where to look). These girls are 12 years old and fierce! I couldn’t…

  • Friday favorites: delightful daughters

    It’s birthday season in our family. In the one-week period between March 31 and April 6, all three of our delightful daughters celebrate birthdays. Then it’s a grandson on the 8th, followed by my husband on the 12th. That doesn’t even take into consideration the extended family and friends with April birthdays. This week’s Friday…

  • Out of the mouths of babes

    When my daughters were young, they said some pretty amazing things—some of them profound, some of them funny, some of them so sweet they’d melt your heart. I thought I’d remember them forever. A few I did; most I did not. So when the grandchildren started to say things I didn’t want to forget, I…

    We are now a month into autumn, though I have to admit, it doesn’t really feel like it. The weather has been more like summer, and typical Halloween festivities have been cancelled or altered, due to COVID. However, some autumn traditions remain: pumpkin everything and progress on my fall bucket list. Health and fitness Try…

  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.
