"Spring" Tuesday 4

 

Spring 

Hello and  welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

Hosted by Ann!

1. Spring cleaning is a very old tradition.  Some say it began with Passover and removing leaven from the home and the fact that windows begin to be thrown open.  What Spring cleaning do you do?

I do not as much Spring cleaning as Inused to.  We just try to keep the house clean every week. We may clean bathrooms better, giving everything a good scrub, mop the floors, of course, Lynn vacuums every week. And then we do spring cleanup outside in the flower beds and fence rows  when Lynn starts up the mowing for the season! We don’t clean the porch and furniture until after pollen season.

2. Does daylight saving time make any difference in your life for good or bad?I like it. I like later daylight and slow mornings.  But it really has no bearing on us as we are retired. It is just a preference.

3. Do you have a spring reading/watch list or perhaps a 'to do' list? Not really. 

4. The "peepers" are back here by the water. There are thousands of this itty bitty frogs(the size of a finger nail) peeping like loud birds.

What signs of spring are showing up in your neck of the woods and what Spring flower is your favorite to see blooming? First of all, I love spring peepers. I enjoyed them in the country when we visited my mom and dad. We never have then nearby us hear, but I’ve heard them in the county! I love the first crocus of spring but this year it bloomed fully in February, our winter was so warm. The robins returned early, I love their bird song on early mornings. Spring is so early here, most of my flowers have already faded. My tulips are beginning to bloom, and we bought some pansies to plant! Another early blooming flower I love is the bloodwort which I found in the woods behind my mom’s house over 30 years ago. I planted it at our first house, then transplanted here. It blooms prolifically  early every year.
