Things I Look Forward To

I am in the depths of despair. It’s January, it’s bound to happen.

I have also been married to Wyatt Christensen for going on ten years. And so I make lists – I’ve learned from the best 😀

The results of above states of being:

A LIST OF THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO ONCE THE *!$^DERNED WEATHER IMPROVES

• Planting my sunflower garden
• Roto-tilling the space between my fence and the canal, and planting a pumpkin/gourd patch
• Growing funny shaped gourds that I can then dry and carve next winter.
• Walks to the Shaw Shack
• Laying on a blanket in the sunshine and chatting the afternoon away with someone (do you want to come over?)
• Reading (okay, I could do that now, but it’s not the same).
• Walks to the Shaw Shack, and asking Kellie if we can walk slower.
• Going to lunch with the ladies
• Putting Kerr Lanterns in the tree
• Shaw Shacks under the tree
• Teaching Calvin to ride a bike
• riding my bike
• going on bike rides with Calvin and Olivia riding their own bikes
• Feeding the geese at Wheeler Farm
• Grass between my toes
• Summer Glass Stars
• Summer Real Stars
• Sleeping out
• Sitting on the porch
• Writing Letters (who needs a pen pal?)
• Throwing the ball for Ella
• Making Paper
• Making books
• Going to the Library
• Camping
• Going to the Rodeo
• Eating at the Diner – even if it’s not great food anymore, it’s still has great atmosphere
• Planting flowers in the front yard
• Writing a Great American Novel (sure, why not?)
• Breathing in every minute of Olivia pre-school-age.

Lots and lots more. Mmm. I’m loving it already.

Come, come, summer, come, come.
