Springing Into Action Hodgepodge

 
Joyce asks the questions, and we provide the answers. See how others answered at From This Side of the Pond.

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? 

Some days it feels like we went straight to summer, but then we'll have a winter day. Spring and Fall both have their good/bad points. I like both equally.

2. What's your favorite thing about spring? 

The birds singing, being able to sit on my back porch all.day.long. Even though I live on a busy road, I like opening up all of the windows and letting the house air out.

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.  

Spring to life. I've been super busy this Lent, doing exactly what I thought I'd be doing when I pictured life after CH's passing. It's taken 2 years and 3 Lents to get my act in gear!

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

Definitely strawberries. I don't need them in a recipe! If I had to say one, though, I'd say strawberry shortcake.

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

A spring cleaning list?  (LOL!) No, I don't have one, but I do need to clean the windows. Ugh.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I published the first post of my Greece trip. I'm breaking it up into the land portion and the cruise portion; the land portion is on Flyin' the Coop.

  3. I do love a strawberry shortcake. Our strawberries aren't in the stores yet so we're still getting Florida berries. I do think ours are sweeter. I think you're doing great managing life and doing things that are important to you. Enjoy your upcoming travels!!

  4. I know that we feel like we went right into summer here. You are right, I've been hearing the birds singing like crazy. That is nice that you have been busy with Lent. Yes, strawberries are good and shortcakes are yummy. I don't have a Spring cleaning list but we did have someone out to wash our outside windows. It was so worth the money. Have a nice trip and enjoy your day today.

  5. We've had some very hot days here too, which is disconcerting since it's early. But we had a very cold winter so who knows what this weather is doing!
