I don’t have a bucket list–

I have a to-do list. I was with some folks the other night–don’t even remember where–and someone mentioned a bucket list. I started thinking . . . I don’t really have one. There are things I might like to do (like spend a week on a dude ranch or visit Rome), but I’m not dying to do those things. So I wouldn’t say they’re on a bucket list.

Instead I have a to-do list, things I’d like to do provided I have free time, the weather is good, and I have the energy. Things on my to-do list:

Scrape the cocoons from my front porch ceiling and repaint it. Pull the vines from the trees in my yard (I do that all the time, but they grow quickly). Go down into the creek and chop down some weedy trees.Paint more pictures. Take my grandkids to Tractor Supply Get a bigger car–one that will hold our entire family, including grands. Read more books. Practice the pianoPowerwash everything–I’d powerwash the world if I could.

These things aren’t urgent or demanding, nor am I itching to do them. They’re just on a sometime-when-I’m-in-the-mood list.

What’s on your list? I’d love to know!

Diana LeGere My list includes reading all the books I keep buying for that day when I can finally get lost in them without stopping when the alarm reminds me of a "must-do" activity or appointment. More time for painting, crafts, gardening, and baking. Time to sit still and listen to birds. Time to enjoy simply doing NOTHING. :)

Gayle Hamilton I have been fortunate to travel for my job so have gotten to see places I never thought I'd get to. On my list of things to accomplish is a trip to Michoacan Mexico to the Oyamel forests in the winter where the Monarch butterflies migrate to. I have been raising monarch and other butterflies for 12 years and it would be fulfilling to see them by the millions!
