a little over two months from now...

spring/summer list:

host a rummage sale during the city-wide sales in june

visit summit ave in st. paul

country drives down dead end/dirt roads

plant a boulevard tree - maybe a purple maple or a weeping willow

explore a few more local towns - i have a few in mind with old houses to gawk at

make the patio space 'livable' - add furniture, plants and someday -this is a big dream- a pergola

outdoor music festivals - one block party in particular

expand my garden - sweet corn this year!

hang my hammock

grill out a 2+ times a week - first on the list: kebabs

wild raspberry picking with josh's grandpa

cart-in camping sites at tettegouche state park

picnic lunches at the gardens on the mississippi and wandering the streets on the river which includes this cottage


strawberry picking - for fresh fruit, jam and freezing

find a new spot for my hummingbird feeder
and
lure in the chickadees with my bird feeder so i can enjoy them next winter

a drive-in movie


i like that none of these ideas are going to break the bank - aside from the pergola and that's why that one is still a dream - that they are all out of doors and are all relatively simple to achieve.
AND i really want to include petra in as many of these activities as possible.
