Guys, what is up with the gloomy spring weather? Cloudy, gray, drizzly, windy, downright cold; these things do not a happy Clare make. So I'm going to bide my time this afternoon/evening making yet another list of reasons I'm excited for the warmer weather to waft my way.

• Shorts. All lengths, all styles. With heels, flats, tunics, hats.
• Going to the Saturday Farmer's Market with Joe and buying veggies galore (hello, golden beets!)
• Outdoor music. Free outdoor music. Free She & Him concert.
• Swimming in Lake Michigan. Granted, this won't happen until late July, but it still rocks.
• A trip to Colorado that doesn't involve breaking my arm.
• Light jackets for breezy evenings in the city.
• Summer weddings. I already have a dress picked out for one in August!
• Longer daylight, shorter work week.
• Camping, and weekend trips to Michigan, the Twin Cities, Madison, and Indy. Ahoy, friends and family! Here we come!
• Reorganizing the furniture in our bedroom (this is a weird necessity for me when the seasons change).
• "Summer dinners" (fresh fruit, veggies, mozzarella, and homebrews - we have a petite saison d'ete right now that is taaassttyy).
  

What's on the docket for you as the seasons change? Have you already had a taste of summer or are you, like us Chicagoans, patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for the sun to warm away the cold-weather blues?
