Summer Designs

This summer, as I've already discussed, I have a lot of plans.  Of course, there's all the garden work, which you can read about by clicking here.  But I have so many other hopes and dreams for this summer.  Looking over the list at Heavenly Aspirations inspired me to put it all down and solidify what I really want to do.  So here I'm working on a list and I can't wait to get home and get started!

1.  Paint my room yellow and decorate it will the bright magenta paint my sister wanted.
2.  Figure out the furniture arrangement for better space management.
3.  Finish the rest of the Jane Austen novels.
4.  Go to the beach at the lake in New Hampshire at least twice a month and memorize the drive so I'll never get lost again.  Find the beach with all the snails.
5.  Find a way to remember the little things of the summer (e.g. collecting little souvenirs or taking candid photos).
6.  Go to the Adoration chapel at least once a week.
7.  Drive the backroads (in my dad's sports car convertible) with country music turned up (extra: with my boyfriend).
8.  Grow the most successful garden yet!
9.  Ride a bike a couple times a week, just enjoying it.
10.  Take my dog for a walk and for hikes and brush her plenty often (extra credit: see if you can keep the brushing up so well that she doesn't really need a bath all summer).
11.  Use an old sheet or something to make a first experiment at a wedding dress pattern.  Decide if I really want to sew my own or not!
12.  Finish knitting the scarf and tuck it away for winter.  Learn to crochet.
13.  Really push myself on the piano and learn at least one hard but beautiful song.  (extra credit: memorize every note!)
14.  Make more progress with voice and guitar.  (extra credit: be ready to play and sing great when my boyfriend visits!  have music ready so we can sing together)
15.  Read a good novel by campfires until it's too dark to see.  Then just sit and listen to nature.  (extra credit: roast potatoes and pop corn kernels in the fire!)
16.  Get really good at Latin so I can help my sister and be ready when I take my final semester in the spring.
17.  Read more philosophy and really get it.
18.  Find a new author (or rediscover an author) to help you get through the fall semester.

If Only Gardening Could Come Sooner

Winter is long over so bloggie needed a makeover.  Makeover completed, I am doubly reminded why I want to learn web design: (1) I want to know better ways to do exactly what I want with my blogs and such; (2) I love being able to design things to perfection.
