My hands are itching to make, create, plant, sew, clean, smooth, organize, and redecorate. With spring finally bringing a little sunlight and warmth (gasp! it's 60F!) all the little nerve endings in me are bubbling with excitement at all of the promise of Things To Do.
First and foremost: vacuum the living room. We've pretty much reached maximum capacity for Pup hair, and I'm pretty sure I might go a little crazy/ier if the situation isn't resolved. And yes, I do realize that vacuuming is just an everyday thing and not a "just in the spring" thing.
Next on the list: build a planter box (big, but not too big, baby steps are good) and plant herbs and other edibles. Then, spend the rest of the spring and summer tending to them and exclaiming (on possibly a daily basis) how quickly they're growing, how green they are, and oh-my-goodness: is that a bud!?!
And finally: paint some more. And more. There are still far too many walls carrying the sad colors of the before-people. It's best to do it when you can open the door and let the fumes out. Otherwise, you and Pup may start acting a little silly as brain cells gasp and die.
As I plot and plan, all the while I am thinking, "If I could wear a vintage apron, twist my hair in a grand knot (like in Anne of Green Gables), and sip sweet tea in between: even better."
