Tuesday 4 Spring Has Sprung

 

Spring has Sprung

Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4/ Hosted by Annie!

Spring has sprung as they say and sights and sounds of winter have given way to those of springtime. With each season even the feel of the sun and wind changes and people may also have a change of attitude or a change oe heart.

1/ Many of my neighbors have chickens.  Have you ever raised them for fresh eggs or is the grocer your go to for them? Also.. would the sound of a neighbor having them bother you? Chickens bring back sweet memories of  visits to  my  grandparents on their dairy farm  in the 50's.  I loved to gather the eggs until I saw a snake in the hen house.    But I think it would be glorious to  be able to gather my own eggs .  The sounds  would  just charm me!!!

2.  How does the change in seasons affect you personally? Are you happier in some seasons , do allergies get to you, do you perk up or down due to weather?  I love spring, but I am  dreadfully  allergic to pollen.  I  have learned to just  prepare the best I can with meds and  enjoy the season!

3.   This week our youngest family member is in France.  She will see Paris, Provence, the Riviera, all very exciting for a young teen.    Most of us don't ever do anything that big...but even the smallest things can have a big effect on  us.  What experience  do you think stands out  most for you in your memory?  Well,  going to meet my husband who was serving  in the military  in Frankfurt  and living  in Germany for a year  was  quite the event for  me..  an essentially country gal! But that bit of  travel  put the yen for travel in me.  I  have  enjoyed  the Netherlands,  Ireland   and Scotland and I'd be hard pressed to name the most awesome of those three. I suppose  it is  most terrific because according  to  Ancestry.com  I hail from  all of these countries!  I suppose I am a mixed up  mess!

4.  What do you look forward to in each of the year's seasons?  I love the new birth of spring .. seeing everything come back alive and the colors are  heavenly!  Summer  is  beautiful  with the  dark green of  the shade trees and the active birds  and summer  flowers.  I love  my hydrangeas in summer. Autumn is  so glorious with the  russets and golds,  the  breezes and    cloudy skies  that  bring  winter   in  by surprise..   and I may not enjoy  the outside   in winter,  but I love the  fireside,  woolly blankets, and hot cocoa  and a really  haunting mystery book..  Every season  has its own charms!
