Definately Spring. I used to love summer but I have recently decided Spring is the best. Also flavor bomb tomatos. They are so sweet.

I taught mat-based Pilates for many years -- and never felt better physically than I did then. I totally understand your love of it. My latest love is Purple Heron sparking rosé from South Africa. It's ridiculously inexpensive and so good. I had picked up a few bottles to take in the limo with us for 'say yes to the dress' day and everyone raved about it. I promptly headed back to the store and bought THREE cases of it! That ought to last me a while.

Mines the antithesis of yours. I am loving a new series on Netflix called "Dead to Me." I keep waiting for someone to start a thread about it, but apparently I'm the only one here who's discovered it Oh and I'm also loving the weather lately as well. Gorgeous walk along Alki Beach this morning with harbor seals frolicking just off shore and eagles teaching their fledglings vs to fly. If you're visiting Seattle in the next week, you're in for a springtime treat!I ETA: looks like everyone else is happy that spring has sprung too! Just finished “Dead to Me” tonight. Spread it out because I didn’t want it to end. So good!

The show Dead to Me on Netflix.
My new shoes I got from Torrid. They remind me of converse but so much more comfortable.
My drops for my water since I stopped drinking soda. They flavor my water and really help take the urge away from wanting to drink soda.
Billie Eilish. Her music is really interesting and I’ve been enjoying it.
The warmer weather!
My Danskin cropped workout leggings from Walmart.

Watching all the birds enjoying the bird feeders. I actually have less birds in my yard in the spring/summer than in the winter. Not that I'm complaining, in the winter they bring life to the cold snowy yard. I'm loving that it is light until almost 10:30 pm! On Thursday it's supposed to be 20C/70F for the first time.

If you're visiting Seattle in the next week, you're in for a springtime treat!I ETA: looks like everyone else is happy that spring has sprung too! My husband and I binged "Dead to Me" over the last two evenings... finished tonight. We loved it and hate that we have to wait for season two. The language is pretty raunchy so it's not a show you'd want to watch with children or maybe even teens around. The two leading ladies, Applegate and Cardelinni, give Emmy winning performances. They're both so, so good. The show is hard to describe, both a tragedy and a comedy. Christina A. plays a new widow with 2 children whose husband died when struck by a car while jogging at night. She meets Cardelinni, a single woman, at a grief group and the story flows from there with shocking twists happening often. I highly recommend it if you're not triggered by the topic and/or the language.

What a lovely thread! I’m loving our new patio. I’ve said on here before that we bought a cheap inflatable spa from Aldi last year, and that cheap spa resulted in us spending a fortune having our garden done up so we have a nice area for it. We’ve gone from having no patio to having one the width of our house, and we had a circular wall built around the tub - a Prosecco wall - so I’ve somewhere to put my glass! We are using our garden more than we ever have as we have nice furniture to sit on to enjoy the spring weather.

We had nice decking done last summer and a garden re-do and now I'm gathering all the bits and pieces to make it more usable and pretty...rug, more cushions, a couple of throws, little string lights etc

All my daffodils are blooming and I have been cutting bouquets for the house. So springy and pretty.
It's stopped snowing and raining the last few days so I can work in the garden and mow the grass. We have almost 3 acres to mow, and I truly love to mow the grass.
Planted all my herb pots and am enjoying the fresh addition to my cooking.

I googled and saw Lidl, but we don't have one, yet. Now I'm going to have to check out Dead to Me. I'm loving the warm- almost hot- weather and the fact that the pollen is going away... And loving shopping for cool, summer dresses.

This microwave popcorn popper. It makes the perfect amount of popcorn for a single serving, and I can control the amount of butter. Bonus, no worries about any added ingredients/chemicals from traditional microwave bags.
Damn, you, Peas! I just made another purchase because of one of you.

I started a new job this week and while it is only day 3 and I’m still completely overwhelmed I am loving it! My boss is really patient with me and since I have literally zero experience my coworkers and the other people I interact with have been very understanding and willing to help me with things I have questions with.
I have been adding drop of facial oil along with my foundation and it has given me just enough of a dewy glow without feeling sticky or sliding off my face by mid afternoon.

The beautiful weather, seeds I planted last week are beginning to poke up, and the lumber that a nice friend delivered that will finally become raised beds. I hope I didn't just jinx myself! Oh and argan oil - just what my dry old lady skin needed

I'm picking loads of asparagus, rhubarb, the chickens are happily laying, all the perennial herbs are back at it and I have lots of seedlings coming up.
I'm also happy to be in taper for my 24 hour race on May 18-19 because my body is TIRED and sore everywhere from training.
I'd love to join Pilates reformer classes, but that would mean giving up my regular gym membership and I do need that rainy day access to treadmills & stationery bikes, plus the yoga instructors are good there. My hips and core definitely need the work though. All my nagging running issues probably go back to that.

Patio time now that we have Spring weather and lots of color everywhere! I found outdoor cushions at Kohl’s online that match our patio rugs. Then we replanted all of the containers. These hibiscus are so bright and tropical.

I’m loving my coffee mornings on the deck with my flowers and birds. This is my favorite time of year with everything fresh and blooming before it gets so hot. It’s so good for my soul.

My new carpet. I bought a townhouse and knew going into it that I had to replace a lot of the flooring - 3 bedrooms, a hallway and the stairs. The downstairs is all hardwood in good condition, and it took me forever to decide what I wanted to do. hardwoods or carpet...I decided to go with an upgraded, textured carpet and I just LOVE it. It's so soft and pretty. I knew the old carpet had to go - it was gross and stained and ick! But gosh the new stuff is so cushy!

If I thought I could get away with an outdoor rug I’d get one lol. The joys of using a garden in the UK - I was in the tub yesterday morning in glorious sunshine when all of a sudden there was a heavy hail shower. I reckoned I was already wet so stayed put, but the water did cool quite quickly with all the ice landing in it!

These hibiscus are so bright and tropical. I put one of these in my big pot out front. No one has them yet. Tonight we are supposed to get snow. My neighbor told me she thought we were safe from the snow at the end of April. I told her I do not trust Mother Nature. She has a cruel sense of humor.

I want to try some but I don't want anything that tastes artificial.

I buy the WM brand and the flavors I've tried and loved is the raspberry lemonade, cherry limeade, pineapple mango and the lemonade. Here is a pic for reference.

This outfit. I got it in green but it is the most comfortable thing I've ever worn and I've gotten a ton of compliments today. I saw it on a girl at a concert last week and went to buy it the next day. I want 6 more so I never have to wear real pants. Pics please Oops sorry I didn't scroll enough! What I want to know is how the legs hang if you have a JLo booty or how does the waist area look if you're not stick slim like the model. I'm not sure I could pull this off but it sure looks comfortable!
