Kathleen tagged me to tell you my 10 favorite things about Spring, as well as my 10 least favorite.
Favorites:
1) smell of freshly cut grass
2) planning and planting my garden. Watching it take shape is art to me.
3) barefeet
4) baby legs in shorts
5) smell of sunscreen
6) eating outside
7) doing school outside
8) waking up to sunshine
9) waking up to birds singing
10) putting pots of flowers out on my deck/ front porch
10 Things I Dislike: there isn't anything that really bugs me, but here are some things that I came up with:
1) ants in the house
2) fruit flies
3) snakes out sunning themselves ( just garter snakes, but still evil to me)
4) MY legs in shorts
5) my sister laughing at my lack of tan, which is funny considering she has the same coloring as me
6) husband working longer hours
7) Spring Fever- my kids are going through this weird, restless thing right now- not concentrating as much during school, etc.
8) weeds
9) deer eating my roses
10) kids not wanting to sleep while it is still light out.
Now, I am supposed to tag others, but lots of people I have visited seem to already have done this. SO, if you want to join in, please do, and let me know so that I can learn some interesting things about you. I challenge a "lurker" to join in! I like meeting new bloggers!

Baby legs in shorts versus my legs in shorts. Yep, I'm with ya on that!

I love baby legs in shorts. I haven't found the courage to put a pair on myself yet...but that will come. :-)
Do you mind if I add you to my sidebar?
I found you through Rachelle. I enjoyed reading some of your previous posts.
I loved your pics of the family of 'crocs'. We do mostly flip flops around here, when the weather permits - or when it doesn't. :o)
I also enjoyed your post on Grace Based Parenting. I loved the book when I read it last year. We homeschooled for several years and then put our kids in p.s. this past fall. BUT we opted into a fabulous system - not anything like you described. I believe God will help you find the balance you talked about. We all need to find that - whether we homeschool or send to public.
I'll be back. :o)
One of my favourites is eating outside too!
No more MEME's for me for awhile--I still owe someone one. Maybe I can come up with something fun.
Anywho----Yesterday as I was riding my bike I remember thanking God for all of the different smells. The magnolia's are blooming and people are cutting their grass. Love all those smells.
In about a month we will be complaining about the humidity and the high 90's but for now the humidity is low and the temp's are in the mid 80's. Not bad.
I pray you have a lovely peaceful day tomorrow.
Happy Mother's day in advance.
Since the deer are eating your veggies, why don't you harvest the weeds? :o) You could toss yourself a nice salad of dandelion and plantain leaves. YUM!
We have a guide in our area who used to give walking tours in NYC's Central Park to help people identify the edible weeds.
At least you could say you have a garden. ;o)
Happy Mothers' Day!!!!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
i love love love baby legs in shorts!!
Bare feet:
Used to be a favorite, then we got a dog.
Deer eating roses:
Oh, my biggest source of anger right now. I went from loving deer, to renting Bambi just to watch them DIE... OK maybe I'm not really THAT bad, but I do return the dirty looks they give me as they are chomping on my Mr. Lincolns.
Great list! I am enjoying reading.....
