Like the old saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. But what does June bring though? Summer, of course! With Summer Solstice less than a month away, I have a few things to accomplish before Spring wraps. Note: These are minor tasks that should have been taken care of a while ago. Luckily, I have a few weeks to wrap them up. Here are the five items from my upcoming to-do list:

Picking Flowers: Call me old fashion or even country, but I thoroughly enjoy picking flowers (Hence, all the flowers in the photo). It may not resonate with most people my age, but flower picking is very relaxing to me. Self care is important!

Running in the Rain: Running is one of my favorite pastimes. More specifically, I really enjoy running in the rain. There’s nothing like running full speed through a big puddle. I know it sounds weird, but I haven’t gotten around to doing it yet this season. Why? It’s been too cold! The temperature has to be warm enough. Give me like a couple weeks. Things are warming up here in New Jersey.

Cherry Blossoms: Cherry Blossoms are the epitome of Spring in every major city! Their soft, pink petals attract locals and visitors from all over. Unfortunately, most of the cherry blossom trees in my neighborhood peaked too early. They bloomed by the middle of March, and were gone within a week. We can all thank Mother Nature for dropping the temperature fifteen degrees. That said, I’m still searching to find a nice group. I may have to venture to Philly for that!

Picnic: Although social distancing has kept us apart for some time, I’m still determined to have a picnic before it’s way too hot. With a good book and playlist, picnics are very relaxing. I have to find a nice park with a great scene. In the meantime, I’ll have my blanket and basket are ready to go!

Purge Closet: In a previous post found here, I planned on rearranging my closet. Unfortunately, that didn’t go as planned. I have too many clothes. Rather than trying to make everything fit, I would rather sort and purge most of my unworn clothing. What’s the point of having something in your closet that you have no intentions to wear?

Cheers to the upcoming season! Hopefully, I will complete my Spring Bucket. No need to bring extra work into the next season.

Much love,
