I've got that itch...

Winter has been fine this year.  Got some sledding done, built an epic snowman, shoveled my driveway, skied, snowboarded, bundled up with soup and a heating blanket, wore comfy sweats and sweaters, swam in the morning before the sun came up, celebrated Christmas and New Year's and Thanksgiving with people I love and big smile. 

But it's now February.  I am ready for spring and summer to come.

I'm ready for:
