We are doing the happy dance because it is officially Spring!
Our local ‘kids’ treated me to a birthday meal on their mountain last Friday. It was fun to be together and enjoy some vitamin D outside watching the Grands on their bikes! We’ve been enjoying the glorious sunshine and temps above 60 the last several days.
Time for Wednesday Hodgepodge. Thank you, Joyce for hosting!
1. Spring is officially upon us, no matter what the weather may be in your neck of the woods. Is there any ‘spring cleaning’ on your to-do list? What’s your most dreaded task?
I would say washing windows inside and out. But…I don’t have to dread it because the window washer is only a phone call away and he’s efficient and inexpensive.
2. What’s something many people seem to love, but to you feels like ‘watching the grass grow’?
Nine innings of major league baseball.
3. Mint grows in abundance during the spring season. Are you a fan? What’s your favorite food with a ‘minty’ flavor?
I am a fan of mint.
Ina Garten’s recipe for Tabbouleh is a favorite food that uses fresh mint. Here’s a link to the recipe.
4. It’s been said, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ Agree or disagree? Explain.
I suppose I agree. When something you enjoy isn’t available anymore you miss it and add an extra layer of fond memories to it that can make it seem even more important in your mind.
5. Are there any festive spring events in your city or town? If so, will you take advantage of them?
Our best Spring events are celebrating Easter and the birthdays of our Grands. Today is Addy’s birthday and we’ll all be together to celebrate her birthday this weekend. JJ’s birthday is in the April, so we’ll gather again to celebrate him. I’ll say a lot about Easter next week.
Happy Birthday, Addy! Baba and Gramps can’t wait to celebrate you!!
The one in town event that starts back up in the Spring is our Farmer’s Market and I do take advantage of that.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Greg and I are having a little escape in Idaho doing many things that I’m fond like good restaurants and a large variety of shopping. The photo below is from a High Tea that I was able to enjoy in Idaho.
We are traveling home today so I will be late in coming around to see how you feel about mint.
