Wednesday Hodge Podge~ Spring is Here

Hello! I am joining Hodge Podge Wednesday this week. I love visiting Joyce's blog. I can't comment on her blog for some reason so, Joyce, if you so happen to see this, thank you for all your lovely posts and for hosting this wonderful fun link up party!!! Check her lovely blog out here. Also, join in on the link up!

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? 

It is for sure feeling like spring in my area. I am in Mississippi and things are in full bloom. Today's temperature is 82 degrees.  Pollen is doing its wonderful covering of everything, and hay fever is in full swing for some.

I love all seasons (Hint~ the name of my blog about actual seasons and trying to embrace life seasons as well)

Spring is preferred over autumn for me if I had to choose. I love the signs of new life, growth, and blooming of things. I love the sunshine it brings after winter doldrums. I love the colors of spring from flowers, decor and clothing. It all speaks HELLO!!! SPRING IS HERE!! :) 

I do like autumn too. As it has its own loveliness. A reprieve after a long, hot and dry summer in my area. Unfortunately, due to my area Autumn is very short lived and seems to take forever to arrive and then when it does it is quick to leave. 

2. What's your favorite thing about spring? 

Exploring outdoors!!! Need I say more!!! Spring means a lot of hiking and waterfall chasing for me!!!! It is my favorite time of the year for that reason. 

A few of my adventures from last spring!!! I look forward to this spring. I already have had a few. 

BUT... besides hiking I do really enjoy celebrating Easter and Mother's Day. 

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.  

Hmm... I suppose spring puts a spring into my step. :) 

5. What's one task on your spring cleaning list? Do you actually have a list? 

Oh, man.... just ONE. :)  Goodness... I do have an ever-running list in my mind that I truly need to write out and get to work on. I was actually looking on Pinterest last night for a spring cleaning task sheet. LOL!

One must- organize some cabinets that really need it in the decluttering department 

One must in the cleaning (yes, to me these are separate) I need to clean some areas outside

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I came across this magazine yesterday. YES!! I still love a GOOD OLE magazine. I have been in a cooking rut and when I saw this it put a little PEP in MY STEP! I hope to try a few of the recipes in this. I want to cook more from scratch. I do cook a lot from scratch, but I need some fresh ideas. I want to learn some new techniques. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a lovely day!

With Love,
