Ten On Tuesday……

So, today's Ten On Tuesday is ten things I am looking forward to right now.  I asked Carole if I could just write "Beach" ten times…but I figured that was not what she was looking for, so here you go.

It's no secret, this winter in New England has been crazy and with 2 more storms heading our way this week, it's hard to stay positive.  Last year I lost that battle, but this year, so far those twinkling lights have led the way…..like a lantern in the night and I am getting through it with a smile.  March is almost upon us with day light's saving, so it's all downhill from here. 🙂
  These are the things that I am looking forward to right now..

1. Our week on Cape Cod.  The picture above is one that Courtney took of the dock that we share with our neighbors a few years ago. I plan to spend a little time knitting in those chairs. (click on this picture….it is so amazingly beautiful.  Courtney has a great eye..this was taken with her phone).
2. Kayaking and this year I look forward to spending more time in the coastal marshes where there are amazing birds
3. SPA…although it's work for me, once the work here is done, it's all fun.  I love spending time with my friends that I don't get to see enough of, even if the bulk of my weekend is work…the rest is pure fun!
4. Having our bathroom finished.  I am SO.VERY.TIRED of looking at the hole that used to be my bathroom and now that the hot water heater is crapping out…yes, I am looking forward to having it completed.  (Not Ken's fault….the plumber is un-thawing everyone's frozen pipes.)
5. Getting back outside walking again.  I just can't do the dreadmill, but as soon as it warms up a bit, I will be back outside again. 🙂
6. I've said this before, but researching further education.  I love working with fiber, but I know that realistically this back can't do this forever.
7. Getting my hands back into the unfrozen dirt.  This year I am going to raise up some seeds again and I think I may dedicate a bed to flowers that I can cut to keep the house full of flowers for the entire growing season.
8. Finishing the huge picture project I am working on.  I will share that with you later in the week.
9. A potential trip to spend time with friends…
10. Climbing up my stairs tonight to finish a book that I have been slowly reading…a few short chapters at a time before I fall asleep.

And the sky's so cold and clear
The stars might stick you where you stand
And you're only glad it's dark 'cause
You might see the master's hand
You might cast around forever
And never find the peace you seek

I need light for my lantern, light for my lantern tonight.
