IT”S SPRING!

I’m really keeping my fingers crossed here that we won’t have any more snow. I’m not a winter lover to begin with. My DH and I are both summer people. In the winter we really have no choice but to stay inside and stay warm. We have our winter projects that this winter kept us very busy. But sad to say, neither of us are into any winter sports. Our logic being that we like to stay warm, and as tempting as it sounds,  throwing ourselves down the side of a mountain with a couple of 2×4’s strapped to our feet to speed us on our way doesn’t make our hearts raise in a very good way! Likewise, since neither of us have strapped on a pair of skates in years..we don’t relish falling on our behinds in an attempt to slide across frozen water. AND since none of our kids play hockey..we simply do not see any reason to freeze our behinds off watching a game.

Cynical? Yup, we make no bones about it.

We are the kind of people that love to take long walks in the bush or down a deserted road. We love the water. Getting on a boat and riding the waves. Getting behind the boat with the aforementioned 2×4’s or kneeboards is something we really do get into. After all our butts are warm and when we fall, it just doesn’t hurt the same way :)  Ahhh to sit on the beach and see the sun set over the lake and grab an icecream on our way home. THAT dear friends is something we really get into.

I can hardly wait till it’s warm enough to open the cottage. Our weeks are spend working so that the min we can escape we are off to do whatever we want at the lake.

Spring! I went outside over the last few days and just soaked up the sun and dreamed of all the things I could plant and the grass I’m going to cut and the weeds I will have to pull. None of those things bother me. I’m ready, so very ready for SPRING!

Isn’t there as song for this wondrous season? We here in Canada need to embrace this season with all that we are!

Stand up with me and shout..I LOVE SPRING!!!

I’ll get back to my story next time. I just needed to get that out…lol
