Our families very first celebration in Spring is Addy’s birthday. She was born on the first day of Spring!
Springing in to Wednesday Hodgepodge where Joyce asks the questions and we all respond.
1. It’s officially spring in the northern hemisphere.
Does it feel like spring in your part of the world?
Spring is definitely in the fickle stages. We had temps up to almost 60 and now have below freezing morning temps!
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?
I enjoy Spring and Autumn. Spring might get an edge over Autumn because of Easter and our Grands birthday celebrations.
2. What’s your favorite thing about spring?
The births of our grandchildren is a favorite. Seeing the flowers push up and brighten gardens is another favorite. Celebrating Easter has always been the ultimate celebration of Spring, the Resurrection and New Birth in Christ! It truly is the best event in the history of the world!
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.
I’ll go with spring to life because it feels like we were brain dead trying to recover from jet lag. We are slowly coming to life!
4. Which spring food from this list is your favorite?
From this list I’ll go with Strawberries and Artichokes
What’s a dish you like that includes your favorite spring ingredient?
Strawberry shortcake or Strawberry Trifle.
asparagus, strawberries, salad greens like mesclun, artichokes, spinach, eggs, peas, spring onions
5. What’s one task on your spring cleaning list? Do you actually have a list?
I do not have a list but we do have to hire a couple of teens to do a yard clean-up. After a major wind storm while we were abroad, small branches and lots of pinecones need to be raked up and gathered to our burn pile. Our kids and grands gathered the large branches that fell while we were gone.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We celebrated Addy in great survivor fashion and my belated birthday this past Saturday. You can see the epic Survivor birthday party if you click here where we had shelter building challenges and fire starting challenges, too.
Happy #9 and Happy #75!
