top 5 ways to welcome spring

february is finally over. finally! and yet sunday it sleeted/snowed enough to get bible study cancelled. so, in case you, too, have a case of the end-of-winters, then here's a list of things to do to console/remind yourself that spring is on the way.

//1//

plan summer vacations to somewhere warm! also planning ahead means scoring a good deal, right? currently i'd pick puerto rico, texas, or camping at a national park. 

//2//

accept your fate and weep silently. with hot chocolate in hand. 

//3//

listen to relient k's like a lion, where matt thiessen also laments that winter can seem never ending. because it's always wiiiiiiiinterrrrrr...

//4//

anyone else pretend to garden? i tried raspberries, but this spring i'm hoping to plant some of these!

//5//
