SPRING!

Spring! 

Easter has come and gone and up here in Seattle the air is less crispy yet full of pollen.  *achoo* Our storms are more volatile and the rain is insane.  Boom boom crash.  Sudden rivers pop up where streets used to be.

Spring means the restaurant I work at is busy and just going to get busier as we round the bend to summer.  

Spring is the last time slot to get that “summer bod”.  I’m committing to more gym time, more outdoor time, and healthy eats.  Meal prep and I are getting to be icy acquaintances.  “Oh…it’s you again.”  

Spring light is flooding my window which has my healthy and thriving aloe plants stationed to catch the most rays.  Also a few new herbal infusions I’ll be using to make salves and moisturizer to help my skin during the rough and tumble outdoor days of the summer.

Spring is planning time for the summer adventures. Hikes and trips and all the things I’d rather be doing. 

Spring means my maps are tacked to my wall as I circle and highlight routes through forests and wildernesses. My dreams are filled with gear lists and trail names and how I’m going to keep my camera safe when I have a tendency to drop it down canyons…it still works even if it’s not pretty!

Spring is the season of wildflowers and renewal.  Spring means we made it through another winter.   The dormant earth erupts in new life and the promise of bounty as the sun lingers longer in the clearing skies.  Spring is a long, full bodied stretch after a nap as we launch into the new season. 

Here's to Spring!
