Aunt Lori, I agree totally, not a big fan of Spring either, but asking about the other seasons out of season didn't seem right :D.... I couldn't believe how hard it was to think of 8 things in any catagory, even the wish list I struggled with. Hopefully this means I am content? Thanks for playing along!
