Good morning and Happy Thursday! I am enjoying the week so far and have a long work day ahead of me today. However, I am very much looking forward to a great weekend too and am so thankful!
Today, I am linking up with Monthly Musings talking about Spring hosting, decorating and gardening.
1. I do celebrate Easter every year. I am so thankful to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the hope that brings. I have a good friend who is Jewish, so I do respect the Passover holiday and have been learning a lot about that too.
2. I don't plant a garden, but am fascinated by those who know when/how to plant food items and more than that, keeps them growing and thriving!
3. I have a few simple Easter decorations, but I honestly didn't decorate this year. I am slowly packing up my house to sell sometime this year, so all my holiday items are packed already. Here are a few pictures from a few years past.
4. I love any key lime or strawberry dessert for the spring. They are so light and refreshing to me! Of course, I love frozen yogurt, but I enjoy that year round. I haven't had any in a week or so though!
5. My favorite spring flowers are lilies, roses, hydrangeas, but really, I love any spring flower!
6. My best tip for hosting a spring event is fresh flowers, spring pretty napkins, and if you are outside, fans and bug spray!
7. My favorite beverage is sugar free sweet ice tea and flavored waters for the spring/summer.
8. I am planting flowers in pots more this year and last year vs. planting anything new in my flower beds. I want the flexibility to take a pot with me whenever I move, so I will invest in some plants for my flower pots.
9. My favorite Easter candy is definitely Robin eggs. I also love some strawberry Starburst jelly beans, but haven't had those in years. My sister gave me a bag of them to take on the plane with me the day I moved to South America. Here I was the day of one of the greatest adventures of my life. Speaking of which, this was actually 11 years ago today! If we are just talking favorite candy, it would be caramel M&M's!
10. I am not a fan of marshmallow peeps, but they are cute for decorating.
Enjoy this spring day!
You are right about spring flowers. I think that in addition to the beauty of them, there's something about seeing their beauty and colors after the bland (outdoor anyway) season of winter that makes us appreciate them even more. I'm with you on the mini eggs being a favorite. So good! Have a great day and see ya soon :).
ReplyDeleteI plant seeds every year and just hope for the best when it comes to my garden. I haven't got a clue what I am doing.
ReplyDeleteI love key lime desserts but they don't seem to be a big thing here in England. I always get excited when I can get my hands on one.
Ha, ha! Oh, that is interesting about the key lime. It is one of my favorites.
DeleteI agree on fresh flowers during the spring and summer- they had an extra something don't they? Your flowers are some of my faves too! I didn't know you moved to South America for a bit-what an adventure! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was quite the 3 year adventure!
DeleteI have never had a caramel m and m! I love the peanut butter ones, but rarely buy them.
ReplyDeleteI love hydrangeas so much. Your plant and flower photos are gorgeous.
In a weird way, I think the caramel M&M's are more filling. Thanks!
DeleteI haven't tried a caramel m & m either! I only like the classic jelly bean flavors and got some this year but I'm over them already! My favorite summer flowers are hydrangeas and roses. Happy Belated Easter!
ReplyDeleteI recommend it! Those flowers are always beautiful.
DeleteIf only Passover had candy like Easter does...lol.
ReplyDeleteI mostly plant in pots as well; that way I can mix it up from year to year.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteYou and your sister look so much alike! I love hydrangeas too and we have quite a few in our yard. We currently have wire cages around them because last year the deer ate them just before they bloomed and while they came back and bloomed again the plants were oddly shaped and not as pretty. Once they bloom we can free them. I forgot about key lime pie which I love anytime, but lime does feel springy to me too. Hope you have the best time this weekend and safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joyce! I would have not thought about the deer eating the hydrangeas, but very smart to protect them this year.
DeleteI can't believe we didn't go out for fro yo this weekend! I'm a big fan too! I also love key lime and strawberry desserts. I hope your week is off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteOh we should have looked for a place! Maybe in Dallas?
