Monthly Musings About Spring

 

1. Do you celebrate Easter or Passover? What are your traditions?

My mom and I celebrate Easter by going to church and then out for brunch. This year it will be virtual, and brunch at home. 

Me, circa 1987-ish?

2. Favorite Spring tradition?

Spring cleaning! Opening windows and airing the place out! And of course, changing out the wardrobe to add more vibrant colors! 

3. What Spring activities are you and your family involved in?

I can't think of any Spring-specific activities other than going to baseball games and a Spring Break getaway that we usually take in March, all of which is cancelled this year. Does drinking deck beers count?! 

4. What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

A newborn! My niece is due in April so very excited to meet her! Also every other year or so I chop off and donate my hair but I skipped it last ear so looking forward to doing that this year.

5. Do you plant a garden or flowers?

LOL not if I want them to live! I leave the planting to my mom :)

6. Do you decorate your house for Spring?

Not really. I put out one or two potted plants and change out the fleece throw blankets for lighter material ones, but that's about it. My patio furniture stays out all year so it just gets a little refresh. 

7. Do you have a favorite Spring meal?

Again, I can't say one meal scream Spring to me. Though I did learn on St. Patty's Day that I actually like corned beef (still not into cabbage), so I'll say that one! I also tend to eat more seafood in Spring, but that's more because I participate in Lent and don't eat meat on Fridays. 

fried scallops and fries- yum!

8. Does it feel like Spring where you live?

It does! The temps are rising (60's-70's most days), some rain, and flowers and trees are starting to blossom. And more sunshine! I love coming home from work and there still being some daylight left! 

9. Will your Spring look different this year due to Covid?

Yes. In the past Blue and I would go to baseball games and outdoor festivals, but I'm still not ready to be around crowds yet, even with the vaccine!

10. Have you dined outside yet this Spring? 

Yes! We took a ride down the shore to a seafood shack and ate on the waterfront. It was great!
