Ten On Tuesday

March 11, 2008 By Carole

This week’s Ten on Tuesday is

10 Things You’re Looking Forward to in the Spring

1. I cannot wait for the smells of spring. I know I’ll be plagued with sinus headaches but I don’t care. Bring on the mulch and the lilacs!

2. When spring arrives these won’t be little green shoots anymore but actual, genuine flowers.
3. No more heavy coats.
4. Taking my spinning wheel out on the deck for an afternoon of spring spinning.
5. Our annual hometown Civil War reenactment, Frank Harlow Day.
6. No more wood stove cranking 24/7.
7. Opening the windows! All the windows! The ones in the Jeep, the ones in the house, the ones in my office at work!
8. The return of the red winged blackbirds. I actually heard one on Sunday but I haven’t seen one yet.
9. Pussy willows. I’ll pick a big ole bunch and bring them inside.
10. Getting a pedicure. There just doesn’t seem to be a point to a pedicure in January, you know? But sandal weather will be here soon and the toes need to look pretty.

So that’s my list. What are you looking forward to in the spring?

    1) The return of migrating birds. Looking forward to waking up to birds singing- happened briefly before the premature DST.
    2) The smell of moist earth in the air- esp in the evening.
    3) Spring flowers- forsythia, tulips, daffodils, flowering crabapples and their sweet scent in the air and of course the lilacs!
    4) Spinning on the deck-ditto!
    5) The sound of spring peepers in my wetland woods.
    6) Opening my windows esp at night to hear the above sounds.
    7) The start of the Sheep and Wools! Spring is not complete without those!

    Oh, and not having to take off 5 layers of clothes before hopping on the scale at WW’s! 🙂

    March 11, 2008 at 7:19 am

    Vacation! We’re going hiking in the Grand Canyon, and I can’t wait! Guess that’s not a spring thing, but it’s the first thing I thought of, so I must be really looking forward to it. 🙂

  4. margene says

    March 11, 2008 at 7:43 am

    All of the above. My first pedi is coming up on Saturday, we have 6″ of tulips and daffodils coming through the ground and yesterday my windows were open for a few minutes!

  5. Deb says

    March 11, 2008 at 7:59 am

    All of the above – except maybe 5 & 6 since they don’t apply here!

  6. Lucia says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:00 am

    I think Manise pretty much covered it. I too cannot wait for outdoor spinning. Oh, and a couple of my own:
    – Having the cats actually go out when I open the door instead of just looking at me with this expression that says “fix this weather immediately, human.”
    – Not having to change the litterboxes as often.
    – Barbecue.
    – Not having to bug Miss B to wear a coat. (What is it with kids and not dressing for the weather? Is it some kind of macho thing?)

  7. Dawn says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:01 am

    1. Spring Break
    2. Sock Madness!!
    3. Flip Flops

    6. Alpaca Shearing Day
    7. 5th grade graduation

    Rainy days.

    I’m going to miss winter.

  9. Leslie says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:03 am

    I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of some COLOR on the landscape! Bloom, flowers, bloom. Also looking forward to all those summertime fruits and veggies.

  10. Kim says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:07 am

    ……..sigh……..spring………

    Actually, I can smell Spring in the air inspite of the 7 foot snowbank outside my back door. 🙂

  11. Lucia says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:14 am

    Oh, and using the clothesline.

  12. Karen says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:15 am

    I am most looking forward to not being cold. All winter I am cold. My hands, my feet and my nose, even when decked out in wool I’m cold.

  13. Kim says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:32 am

    Ahh, an afternoon of spinning on the deck amongst the lilacs and pussywillows. Sounds heavenly.

  14. Chris says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:33 am

    Going for long walks without some part of my body half freezing off.

  15. Lynne says

    March 11, 2008 at 9:00 am

    All of the above, but especially I love the late sunsets and fresh air.

    Opening day of Major League Baseball.

  17. Robin in VA says

    Nice list! This will be fun, I’m going to post mine on my blog…

  18. Knitnana says

    March 11, 2008 at 9:12 am

    Packing the coats in the back of the closet!
    (((hugs)))

  19. Beth says

    March 11, 2008 at 9:27 am

    Nice list! I’m looking forward to seeing plants emerge from the ground, grilling out, green grass…

  20. Helen says

    March 11, 2008 at 9:41 am

    Oh Carole…
    Pedicures in the winter are a MUST! It’s not for the show (though freshly painted toes are fun), it’s for the care and nurturing of the hand knit socks!

    Besides, it’s only in winter that I’ll let them do those extra designs on your big toe. I love having that secret silliness under the woolly socks and warm winter shoes.

  21. Hillary says

    March 11, 2008 at 10:03 am

    1. No more winter coats
    2. Gardening
    3. Maryland Sheep and Wool
    4. Spending Spring Break with buddies
    5. Spinning outside.
    6. Reading outside
    7. Relaxing in the sun
    8. The Cherry Blossoms
    9. Seeing my Irises bloom again
    10. The smell of cut grass (even though it makes my allergies go wild)

  22. Yen says

    March 11, 2008 at 10:04 am

    Great list! Mine is up too:)

  23. Hillary says

    March 11, 2008 at 10:07 am

    Oh,and pedicures know no season. Sitting in the massage chair, getting my toes done while I knit – with no kids, work, etc to bother me – pure heaven!

  24. Emily says

    March 11, 2008 at 10:28 am

    I painted my toenails two days ago (right before we had a freeze warning)! I’m ready for spring!

  25. Cheryl S. says

    March 11, 2008 at 10:57 am

    Tulips! I want tulips! Yesterday was in the 50’s and sunny. I was so happy! The mountains are still pure white (which I don’t mind ’cause they’re so gorgeous!), but it’s a reminder that the snow isn’t over. We’re supposed to get more this weekend.

  26. Anne B. says

    March 11, 2008 at 11:11 am

    Definitely the first robin sighting. I used to go down into the field and bring my Mum the first pussywillows I found, but that was awhile ago now.

  27. Lynne says

    March 11, 2008 at 11:30 am

    Oh, yes…opening the windows! And smelling grass cuttings. Getting the front porch settled and having my first morning coffee out there while I knit.

  28. Ina says

    March 11, 2008 at 11:50 am

    Excellent list, especially #10. I look forward to spring flowers in general, cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park, irises at the Presby Iris Garden, trees leafing out, bike rides, garden planning and gardening, asparagus, wardrobe rotation, sunlight when I leave the house and when I return, Easter chocolates from Bromilow’s.

  29. JessaLu says

    March 11, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    I’m with you on #4, 7 & 10. ;o)

    Wonderful list, Carole.

    You’re going to hate this, but we’ve had spring here for quite some time. Personally, I look forward to an overcast day every once in awhile. I know, I need therapy.

    I am looking forward to my vacation next month in Cabo San Lucas.

  32. Chris H says

    March 11, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    LOL.. My blog post today was about my younger son noticing the smell of spring. (OK, so he tends to notice a lot of smells that the rest of us don’t bother with, but this one was good!)

    I don’t spin YET, but…

  33. heather says

    March 11, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    outside, outside, outside! riding my bike, knitting on the deck, gardening, and ditto on the lilacs. oh, and sunshine whenever i’m awake 😀

  34. Carol says

    March 11, 2008 at 6:49 pm

    I look forward to your #5, I love those!

  35. Vicki says

    March 11, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    Oh! I smelled a little bit of spring today… I think tomorrow will be even better!! Also stopped on my way home from work today to check out… a SCOOTER! And I saw a motorcycle on the road!

  36. Brenda says

    March 11, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    Pretty much all of those (including the wood stove), and a few more:
    -The melting of the ugly, dirty snowbanks.
    -The return of color.
    -No more hauling wood or shoveling snow.
    -The return of the light (we got a shot of that with daylight savings, but I love the late evenings).

  37. Debi says

    March 11, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    Oh I just love pussy willows! I miss those and Japanese Lanterns and those beautiful silver dollar plants!

    Don’t’ hate me but I’d be thrilled if the weather calendar stopped today. Our weather has been cool, little humidity and tons of sunny skies! Spring here = HOT 🙁

  38. Teyani says

    March 12, 2008 at 4:57 am

    such a lovely list.
    I’m looking forward to playing in the garden and spinning outside again.

  39. BigAlice says

    March 12, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    Opening all the windows, that’s my favorite one. And if I spun, I think spinning on the deck would be too, but I’ll take knitting on the deck 🙂

  40. lisa says

    March 12, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    All those things and more for sure! Do you really have little green shoots poking up? It’s all snow here still. The longer days feel good, but strange. I occasionally open windows on sunny winter days, because even though it is cold, the fresh air feels so good.
