Hodgepodge

It's Beginning to Feel Like Spring!

Focus Upward

I'm a daughter of the King of Kings, wife, and mother of 2 lovely young adult daughters. Focusing upward on Jesus.

Well, I haven't blogged or checked in with the Hodgepodge since January, so I'm going to give this another try this week! Joyce hosts this fun weekly link-up called Wednesday Hodgepodge. She poses questions and then encourages others to post their answers on their blogs.

1. It's officially spring in the northern hemisphere. Does it feel like spring in your part of the world? 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? Yes, spring has finally sprung here in middle TN, and I'm so grateful. The ice storm in January was a bit much, and I love seeing the daffodils, tulips, and dogwood trees blooming this time of year. I think I like spring and autumn about equally, but my allergies prefer autumn. They are not as prevalent in the fall.

2. What's your favorite thing about spring? The freshness in the air, the beauty of the trees and flowers blooming again. The warmer temperatures allow us to take walks without a coat!

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. "Spring in your step" I think describes my life right now. I turned 60 on Tuesday and I'm choosing joy as I look forward. The weather has turned cooler, but Spring is still just around the corner, and I'm very blessed!

4. Which spring food from this list is your favorite? What's a dish you like that includes your favorite spring ingredient? asparagus, strawberries, salad greens like mesclun, artichokes, spinach, eggs, peas, spring onions. I like and eat everything on that list, except for peas. They are not my favorite. If I had to choose a favorite, I'd pick asparagus and strawberries, but not together. I make a side dish that has artichokes, spinach, and red peppers with various seasonings.

5. What's one task on your spring cleaning list? Do you actually have a list? No, I don't have a spring cleaning list, but it should be cleaning windows.

6. Random Thought: In past blogs, I have included my 1 Second Everyday videos. It appears that I haven't posted those since November. So, if you are interested, check out the links below. There may or may not be a lot of pictures of cats in them. Ha ha, enjoy!
