Things looked forward to in a better weather week?

DormouseAtRest_25

As the northern hemisphere steps forward towards Springtime; when your area gets the forecast of an improved weather week: to which activities are you looking forward?

Time spent outdoors?  Pastimes?  Exploring places?  Sports?  Increased travel options?  Doing as little as possible in the sunshine?  Chores you couldn't face tackling over Winter?  Meeting a friend?  A favourite walk?  Photography of fauna, flora and vistas?  Clubs, Groups, Events and Outings?  Your children being able to play more outside?  Drying laundry on an outside washing line?  Going for a picnic?  Sitting outside a coffee shop?  Listening to the natural sounds of your environment?  Watching a favourite plant unfurl its leaves?

  • Nice thread. 

    Thank you.

    I like all the seasons but this winter has been very wet so I'm mainly looking forward to, hopefully, drier and sunnier days.

    Visiting the seafront and gardens and gardening.

    It's lovely seeing the 1st buds and all the flowers poking their little heads up above the earth, and leaves on decidious trees.

    My favourite is the birds starting to sing their mating songs.

    Blackbirds especially, but we also have robins who are already singing their hearts out.

    Living in the countryside this is the sound that wakes me up during the spring and summer months.

    A few years ago, when helping a relative to downsize to their new home; when I asked what were the priority "needs" and "wants" of the next home: their first answer was:

    "I must be able to open the bedroom window, having woken up in the morning, and sit in bed with my first tea of the day - listening to the birds".

    (I am pleased to report: that a carefully placed bird bath did the trick in the garden of the new home).
