31 Spring Bucket List Ideas & Adventures
Seasonal bucket lists are a great way to embrace the changing seasons. This season I am looking forward to slowing down, savoring the little things, trying a few new things and living in the moment. The sunny days I am in my garden beds weeding and planting and the rainy days I am inside enjoying the downtime.
Outdoor Spring Fun
Spring time is a great time to add some fun activities to your schedule and to take advantage of the endless opportunities to get outside, soak up some vitamin D and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
1.Go to the nursery to pick spring flowers for your containers or plant wildflower seeds and make your own meadow.
2. Visit the farmer’s market or a local farm, buy some fresh eggs, some honey and a basket of fresh produce.

On My Radar
Great idea to make a list … or it comes and goes before we know it. Several of your ideas are on my list and several more need to be. Of course s’mores tops mine … and cocktails. Thanks for mentioning me! xo
When (if?!) pollen season finally leaves North Carolina, I plan to do many of the items on your great list. One item concerns me, however, is the strawberry picking unless you can find an organic field. Once again strawberries lead the Environmental Working Group’s most dangerous non-organic food because of the heavy saturation of carcinogenic pesticides. Even before my retirement a few years ago when I was teaching a university environmental literature course, strawberries were then sprayed with 500 pounds of pesticides per acre! I never buy non-organic straw berries
Kelly, thank you so much for the information. I did know that strawberries were treated with pesticides but it never entered my mind then I wrote this post. Thank you for sharing your experience and information. I do not think I will be eating any more strawberries in my lifetime. What about blueberries?
As for the pollen, that is wishful thinking on my part. Currently, it is “worm” season here and they are everywhere.
Have a great night and weekend.
Please don’t give strawberries up completely! The organic ones are just fine. Sadly, commercial blueberries are also on the EWG list of heavily pesticide sprayed list, but, again, organic blueberries are fine. I urge you to go to the Environmental Working Group website where they annually report on their research regarding the heaviest pesticide-sprayed vegetables and fruits which they label “The Dirty Dozen.” They recommend that we only by the organic versions of these twelve. Prepare to be aghast! I have trusted their scientific work for years. May the pollen leave us soon!
Kelly, I am adding a link to the EWG website, thanks for sharing. I am shocked! Cherries are one of my all time favorites and I eat an apple a day! WTH???? Thankfully we have several organic apple orchards/peach and blueberry jams nearby. I am going to have to stock up.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
So glad you checked out EWG’s website. I find organic strawberries (Driscoll) at Harris Teeter, Wegmanns, and even Food Lion. Be careful, though, as the Driscoll regular and organic berry packages are very similar. Also, I buy the frozen organic blueberries which are so handy. I’ve even seen them at Walmart. Organic apples are a bit more difficult to find, so I usually go to Whole Foods for those.
Thanks so much for this fabulous list of ideas, Elizabeth. I’m excited to add them to my calendar. I appreciate you sharing the EWG link too. I had no idea strawberries had so many pesticides. It makes my stomach hurt thinking about how uninformed we’ve been because Florida has a its own strawberry season and we eat pounds of them! Big hugs and thanks for keeping us healthy, CoCo
