Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. It's officially spring in the northern hemisphere. Does it feel like spring in your part of the world? If you're in the southern hemisphere it's officially autumn where you live. Does the weather say autumn? Which do you prefer-spring or autumn? Why? 

This weekend in Farmville, it was more like summer.  The temps reached 88 degrees.  Sunday was a gorgeous day with 70s .  Monday morning when I left for school, the temp was around 65 degrees and when I walked out of the school building it was in the 40s...WOWZER!!! So yesterday, was kinda cool.

I prefer autumn.  Not only is autumn beautiful, but it gives me a cozy vibe.  A time to sit around the fire pit with a hoodie on. AND in autumn there isn't many bugs around!

2. What's your favorite thing about spring? 

Spring just gives me motivation to be productive.  I have a boast of energy (and I need it) in the spring.  I feel like the earth is waking up and me too!  Seeing the lush grass (but I dread mowing, but someone told me to think of it as getting my steps in), the flowers blooming, hearing the birds chirping, etc just gives me energy. I  am not a fan of the pollen that comes along with spring.

3. Spring into action, spring in your step, spring to life, spring to one's feet...which spring idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain.  

This past weekend it was definitely spring to life.  I was full of energy with the bright sunshine and warmer temperatures.  Keeping up with the grands next week, spring to life will probably most fitting.

4. Which spring food from this list is your favorite? What's a dish you like that includes your favorite spring ingredient? 

asparagus, strawberries, salad greens like mesclun, artichokes, spinach, eggs, peas, spring onions

My favorite spring food is salad greens like mesclun

5. What's one task on your spring cleaning list? Do you actually have a list? 

Currently, I do not have a written down list, but I do have a mental list.  My house needs a a really deep cleaning.  I usually won't do any deep cleaning till school is out for the summer. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I had a great time with some friends this weekend.  We went to Farmville for the weekend just to get a way for a few days.

The sky was gorgeous!

I love the reflection of the sky on the water.

I think I found a chair I could get my big, fat tush in.

I will be MIA for the next couple of weeks. I am taking grandsons on a Disney Cruise. We are flying to Orlando April 1st and boarding our ship April 2nd.  We will not be returning home till April 8th.  The grands are so excited (parents are too), but me a little apprehensive.

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!
