Purple Flowers

One of my favorite things about living in the Pacific Northwest is having an actual Spring. You know, where trees turn green again, buds grow on trees, flowers bloom, and the weather gets warmer. Yes, we still have our fair share of rain in the Spring (it is raining as I write this in fact). Spring weather is far from consistent, but we actually can witness the renewal of life around us. Growing up, I was more used to snow, mud, and then summer. We would see the trees turn green, but oftentimes it was closer to summer than in Spring.

Photo Challenge

I am not doing a photo challenge for the month of March. I realized that it was too much during my last class. My next class starts in a couple weeks. Once I have a better idea of the workload in that class, then I can see if I can do a new challenge in April (or possibly May). If the workload is too much, I will be off the photo challenges until probably June (I don't plan on taking classes during the summer). Until then, I decided I would do a seasonal checklist. I'm not going to worry about getting to all of them on the list; I am simply going to go about my business and see how many I was able to complete come the end of Spring. After reading the list, it will be a walk in the park to get some of them done (in fact, I think three of them are ready to be checked off!). The Spring list I am using is from the "Simple As That" blog, and it can be found here.
