I know, you’re probably thinking – wasn’t there supposed to be a recap of the winter list first?  Well – normally, yes.  But I have nothing to recap, because I didn’t do one. single. thing. from that list.  Oops!  Blame work, you guys.  It’s been so insane that I have had legit no time to do anything at all.  So I’m blowing right past it, and getting right to listing out my hopes for spring.  At this point, who knows if any of it will happen.  But at least it’s fun to daydream and plan.

• Catch up on the 52 hike challenge – I’m several weeks behind.
• Decide on a destination for summer travel and start planning.
• Visit Mount Vernon and see the baby animals (that was so much fun last year).
• Take Peanut and her doll Willa to tea at the American Girl store.
• Hike the Bluebell Loop Trail again.
• Read Beverly Nichols’ Merry Hall trilogy.
• Pick tulips at Holland in Haymarket again.
• Start the process to get approved as a Girl Scout troop leader.
• Bake a strawberry-rhubarb pie with a lattice crust (with fruit from the farmers’ market, if possible).
• Write letters to my grandmother, and get up to New York to visit her at least once.

Here’s hoping that I get around to doing at least some of these.

What’s your favorite spring tradition?
