Yule- Ostara To Do List

This is the list that I have been working on, click on the links of the completed projects and see my adventures.

 Once the Winter aspect is done the page will come down and another will replace it. the goal is to keep doing these until all the bucket list is done (so basically hopefully not for a few years). To see my posts about each adventure click on the blue completed ones.

Some info about the colors:

1. pale blue: tracking to completion, when done I will change it to dark blue and place a link to the post about it, 
2. red is the number of items completed in that one item's list.
3.  if the link has turned purple you have read the linked post already.
4.  the one's which are deep red are items which can't be completed due to expiration of the item or items not done by the end of the list date (ostara) and they will either be rolled over to the new list or have to wait til the appropriate season comes around again.
