Sunday Happy

Hey hello there. How's it going? Hopefully all is good and well. Maybe you got some crazy snow or some nasty wind (because March and that is what March does) but the bomb cyclone should be over now and we can get back to spring. We all need.a good spring. 

The week came and went. A family dinner, weird little odds and ends got done, a walk and a hanging out with the littles at the lake where we saw a kid run out onto the ice, fall in, run back out and laugh it off. (I was a bit shocked but all the littles could talk about was how the kid had a British accent. Didn't faze them that he just fell into freezing water). Besides that, nothing really out of the norm happened other then I did turn the heat off in the house for a few days (it has sense been turned back on). I also managed to clean the back porch and the car out and the mr and I were able to have an outdoor picnic lunch. Those warm days were really something special. When it got cold again, which it kinda did, (I got really cold because a little cold makes me colder then really really cold) I stayed inside and watched Ugly Delicious which is so so good and you all should watch it too. Oh, an I have pretty much stopped looking and using my phone because life is nice without it. 

Sunday Funday and today I want to have some fun. What the initials I have yet to figure out, but it will be done. (board games on the back porch? Maybe a really cold bike ride?) And then I will probably drink lots of coffee and watch a few more episode or  Ugly Delicious because once you start watching, you really can't stop.

Summer Bucket List

May 21, 2016 Colleen Stem

Things have been a little cray cray around here, what with every day full of things, (not all so fun, and sometimes a little grueling) so I day dream and think about all the things that I want to do this summer. I want this summer to be good and fun and full of happy with the feeling of accomplishment. And so I list...My summer 2016 bucket list. 

Not in any order other then the most important thing on the list.....

#1 is to finish the freaking house! and....

  • relearn how to do a cartwheel
  • have fresh flowers at all times
  • bake a loaf of bread every week
  • get on the lake in a kayak/canoe
  • so many bike rides (preferably during sunset or sunrise)
  • at least a couple impromptu trips to fun places
  • get a real haircut
  • get rid of all the shit that I don't need
  • bring my little brothers and sister camping
  • spend time laying around in my backyard reading
  • hike Camels Hump
  • re-pot all of my 50 or so house plant
  • set up my pottery studio in new house
  • Stick my feet into the ocean
  • give Washer ans Only baths
  • learn how to fix my bike and then fix it
  • plant a tree in the front yard
  • finish carving a spoon and get on my way to be a first class wood carving master

Not a bad list, and I am allowed to add to or change a few things (getting a hair cut is asking a lot) but as of right now, this list is looking good and somewhat realistic.

And sure, not technically summer yet, but today the mr and I are working all day at the house and I may just bring my book and spend a little time reading in the yard.(It is such a nice yard) Getting this done on the list!

Have a good weekend and start thinking about all the fun stuff you want to do this summer... Its almost here!
