Amazing list. I can't wait for a few of those myself, mostly the Farmer's Market. Nothing like waking up early, and getting in before everyone else for the freshest produce.

I can't wait for the trees to start looking like cotton candy.

It always makes me think about that line from dumb and dumber. "Just when I though you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"

I get so restless in the cities winter gray and then BAM it totally redeems itself.

I like the idea of fresh flowers on the table and mismatched floral plates; dancing and praying in the sun. {Sigh) Dreamy. Isn’t it great that we have the ability to create a dreamy life?
