Spring Things – #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 3-25-2020 Favorite Things to Do In The Spring. Wow, so many so little time. LOL Please have a seat, grab a hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started.,
First of all, as I write this there is still snow on the ground in Colorado. In fact there has been snow on the ground since October. Now granted, I live in Colorado where snow is a given. I have lived here for most of my life and never have we had so much snow for so
long as this year. I have to admit that two days ago, I actually strolled around my front yard and found green sprouts of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths. Then the next day three inches of snow and blizzard conditions, so much for Spring. Not sure what happened to my crocus. Usually the pert little yellow, white and purple blooms greet me mid- February. Not this year, I believe they simply gave up. Can’t say as I blame them.
Back to my favorite Things to do in The Spring are walk my dog in the early morning, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and watch the sun rise in spectacular colors. 
daffodils sprouts
Tulip & Hyacinth sprouts
Second is to watch for all the green sprouts awaken from their winter sleep knowing the beautiful blooms or lush lawn they’ll add to the landscape in the coming months. Watch my roses come to life. This year I am so excited. For years I have tried to get a Perfect Moment Rose. They’re reserved in March by our local nursery because they are in high demand. I always forget to call and have one held for me. This year I remembered and have one on reserve for me to pick up in May. Yippee!!
Third – Get our fifth wheel out of winter storage and prep it for upcoming camping trips. Colorado is one of the best places to go camping. We have several camping reservations set up in national and state parks. I can’t wait. (Hope COVIN-19 doesn’t disrupt our plans.) Yep, along with my dog, parrot and turtle, hubby and I have cabin fever.
So there you have it, Favorite Things to Do In The Spring!

One of my favorite award winning books, A WARLOCK’S SECRETS e-book is on sale for 99¢. Yippee!! Writing this book was an adventure in and of itself. A Warlock’s Secrets came to fruition after several readers and a couple of reviewers asked or assumed Tristian’s story was next in the Demon’s Witch Series. In truth, I’d never considered writing his story. He was the Demon Overlords enforcer/assassin, for heaven’s sake. After delving into who he really is and what he wants, come to find out, he has a strong moral compass and when love comes his way he is fiercely protective and everything Hannah is looking for in a forever relationship. A Warlock’s Secrets, second book in the Demon’s Witch Series is on sale for 99¢ for a limited time.!Join in the adventure and download your copy today!
A snippet –
Inside the house, a shadow passed by the huge bay window. She held her breath. Am I really going to go through with this?
Walking up the steps to the house, she paused. Why would he leave such an expensive car sitting out when he had a four-car garage? She was stalling. Straightening her shoulder’s she used the brass doorknocker. There was no answer. She knocked again.
The heavy oak door creaked open. Tristian stood shirtless, his abs rippled as he raised one muscular arm to lean on the doorframe. The skintight blue jeans hung low on his hips and his hair tousled as if he’d not been awake long.
When he stared at her, with those huge blue-gray eyes, tingles careened up her spine. She covered her mouth in case drool pooled in the corners her mouth. He was one sexy male. She sucked in a breath and opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. A brow arched, he peered questioningly at her then twisted to glance backward into the house. The sunlight streaming through the doorway accentuated several scars across his chest, rib area and a healed slash across his back. Who gets those kinds of battle scars and lives to tell the tale? Not going to ask. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
The corner of his mouth curved up in an inviting sexy-as-hell grin. “Good morning, Hannah. What a surprise.”
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, April 1st, Favorite Book Series and why. Boy that’s going to be interesting! I love series, don’t you?

Spring is beautiful with snow too but I loved the small signs of new growth in your photos.Take care, Tena.
Thanks for stopping in Charlotte! Hopefully Spring will arrive eventually. LOL
I lived in Wyoming when I was a kid. Spring does come later in the season in that part of the US!
I hope you enjoy your Perfect Moment rose. It’s cool you’re getting one this year.
And my fingers are crossed that you’ll get to go camping this year.

Hey Lydia. Thanks for stopping by and crossing your fingers. We need all the help we can get. I can’t wait to get my rose.LOL
Thanks for coming by earlier, Tena. You live in an area that is so beautiful year round. I remember going to Salida for the kayak races, many many moons ago.
Yes, I love living in Colorado. This year it’s been a challenge with snow since October. Not used to that long a stretch of snow. lOL Thanks for stopping by!
I always get excited when I see the buds forming on the tree in my yard. Then I know spring is nearly here. I’m so glad you got to reserve your Perfect Moment Rose! That sounds like a beauty! Be sure to post photos on your blog when you get it. I’d love to see what it looks like!
I will post pictures when I get it. Thanks for stopping by Tricia and for commenting!
Big sigh…I love your fifth wheel, Tena! I hope none of your camping plans get disrupted, too. And you must post pictures when you get your roses. So happy for you. 🙂
I will post pictures of my rose when I get it. I’m so excited. My fingers are crossed hoping we get to go camping. Thanks for stopping by!
I wrote about camping on my post. That’s how we get out and finally dispel cabin fever. I fear it’s going to take a long time to get rid of this year, from being in the house all day, every day, for as long as it’s going to take to flatten the virus curve in our state. IL hasn’t had as many cases as, say, New York, but Chicago is a major travel hub also, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. As much as I like to complain about working, it feels so weird to not feel “useful” to anyone. I’ve been writing, cooking, baking, etc. But at least husband can work from home, so we’ve got $ coming in.
Daughter taught for a year in CO, and loved it! But it was way expensive for her to live in a Denver suburb, and the school up on a mountain that she taught in was on a salary freeze, so she had to get a job at Kohls to be able to make her rent and student loan payments, and still have something left over for other bills and for food. She’d love to someday move back there. We only got to camp there when we helped her to move there. Gorgeous scenery!
Fiona I have to agree it’s going to take a while to dispel the cabin fever this year. Hoping things get better soon. Hanging on by a thread. Colorado can be expensive to live if you are just moving here.. But I was raised here and married here and love it here. Yep Gorgeous scenery! Love camping here. You’ll have to come back and camp in Colorado. Thanks for stopping by Fiona! Stay safe!
I live in Houston so we don’t really have seasons. We have summer and a sort of winter. I could see how the green sprouts popping up would be something welcomed and worth looking forward to. Hopefully spring comes soon for you. We are already having 90 degree days in Texas.
Wow, 90 degrees. That’s too warm. We are hoping for warmer weather, but snow keeps coming. We’ll on the positive we have moisture! LOL Thanks for stopping by!
I love watching the flowers pop up and to see the strength in how they manage. Good post!!
Glad you enjoyed it Megan. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe!
I would so love to visit Colorado. I bet it’s spectacular, especially when the seasons change. Living on the coast north of Sydney, Australia where the weather is so mild, I find it hard to get my head around all the snow. It must be stunning, although I can understand why you’d hanker for spring!
I would love to visit Australia! It’s on my bucket list. I didn’t know Sydney’s weather was mild. Look at me learn things. LOL Thanks for stopping by!
I love to go camping too! Well mostly in the summer because we’re in tents. It’s gonna be a little bit before we really see spring here in the Chicagoland area though. Except for the tulips. One of my favorite things about spring are when the lilacs bloom! Also this book sounds like a very good read!
Thank you for stopping by Debbie! I too love when the lilacs bloom, they line the back yard and smell heavenly when the frost doesn’t get ’em.
