Good morning! It's the end of month link up time and this has always been a fun one to join. It is Monthly Musings!
1. Favorite thing about spring?
I love seeing new flowers blooming in all the yards! I also love the cool mornings and evenings.
2. What are your spring traditions?
I am not sure I have any spring traditions, other than spending April cleaning up the yard.
3. Favorite spring outfits?
I don't have specific spring outfit, but as the weather warms up, I start wearing dresses paired with either my regular denim or white denim jacket.
4. Favorite springtime meal?
I love a good salad with fresh strawberries or mandarin oranges. I don't make this at home that often, but do love to order this when I am at a restaurant.
5. Spring rain....love or loathe?
I do enjoy a spring rain. After a few days of rain, it is good to see the sun though! The fresh rain is so good for the plants and grass.
6. Favorite spring flower?
I love so many...hydrangeas, lilys, and roses all come to mind. I do have a hibiscus plant this year though that is so pretty!
7. Do you get seasonal allergies?
I don't really battle this too bad. I usually keep OTC allergy medicine on hand, but it isn't a daily struggle thankfully.
8. Favorite springtime beverage?
I rarely go to Chick-fil-A these days, but I would say the first drink that popped into my head is a diet lemonade from Chick-fil-A, or better yet, a frozen diet lemonade.
9. Do you change your home decor for spring?
I am trying to just have fresh flowers in my home and I have this little bird on a side table. That is about it!
10. Lemon meringue pie or strawberry shortcake?
While I do love strawberries, I would go for a lemon pie over the strawberry shortcake. Better yet, even a strawberry pie or a key lime pie!
I love little bird statues and have one very similar to yours! I make a really good salad - spinach or spring mix, sunflower seeds, goat cheese, strawberries that you have sliced and macerated a bit in sugar, and the brand Brianna's dressing that has a strawberry on the label. You can also add grilled chicken. We love this salad.
ReplyDeleteYum! I do love a salad that incorporates fruit and grilled chicken. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
DeleteI have not been going to CFA much anymore either. Diet frozen lemonade? I was unaware of this concoction´s existence; may have to check that out! That hibiscus plant is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is called a cajun hibiscus and it has such a beautiful color to it. There are so many types of this style of hibiscus, which I was not familiar with until I went to Louisiana.
DeleteI loved reading these answers! I'm thankful I don't have seasonal allergies. So many people struggle this time of year! I love seeing all the green right after it's rained, don't you? And I do love the smell of rain in the air.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am thankful for not suffering through allergies in the south!
DeleteI love fresh fruits in my salads this time of year too. Your hibiscus is just beautiful!! I love all the flower varieties you've mentioned but most of those won't bloom up here until end of June or July.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! We are definitely out of the freeze zone down here :).
DeleteI decorate the same way for spring - fresh flowers and just one or two seasonal decor items. Your hibiscus is beautiful! Hope you're having a great week and enjoying spring weather!
ReplyDeleteFresh flowers are good for the soul! This hibisucus is called a cajun hibiscus, which is new to me. Thanks and you too!
DeleteI had a cobb salad yesterday from Wendy's that was good...no fruit in it though. I have a couple of fake flowers in my house and love them all spring and summer. I need one of those diet frozen lemonades...we may have to stop while we are out running errands today. Hope you have a great rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know they have a good salad! Go treat yourself to lemonade and hope you enjoy your afternoon as well!
DeleteI also have several little bird statues that I like place around the house. Your rose and hibiscus are so pretty! Oh - now I want a frozen lemonade!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun treat for a hot summer day. I haven't had this many blooms on my rose bush in several years, so I am pleased to see them.
DeleteYour fave flowers are some of mine too :) Your salad sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt always taste so good this time of year!
