Friend Makin Monday - Spring Love

Happy Friend Makin' Monday!
Thanks to Amber at {aefilkins} for hosting!


1) Favorite thing about Spring?
The beginning of daylight savings!

2) What am I doing for Spring break?
My "Spring break" days are long gone! I don't even know when Spring break technically is. The crowd at Disneyland last Friday said it was then but Easter isn't even for another two weeks. Anyway, whenever it is I'm certain I'll be doing the same things I usually do every other week!

3) Favorite Spring flower?
I really love ranunculus - they are so beautiful!


4) Do you have a garden?
We have a lot of trees, shrubs, and flowers around the front and the back of the house. It's not what I would consider a garden to be and it certainly isn't what it "could" be. In time, I guess.

5) If so, what do you grow?
We have several hardy bushes mixed with camellia shrubs, iceberg roses, and sea lavender. It's a total mutt of a garden - except for the front yard which was professionally landscaped and everything beautifully coordinates. Additionally, I'd love to plant a vegetable garden but we have a lot of rabbits in the area and I'm afraid they'll eat anything we plant!

6) Do you do Spring cleaning?
I adore Spring cleaning! I wish I could have a full day to myself to clean the house from top to bottom. It's a sick, sick dream - I know!

7) What is your weather *really* like right now?
Warm days, cooler nights. We live about 2-3 miles inland from the ocean and today the haze rolled in making for a humid day.

8) Snapped any weather related photos lately? Share them.
I took both of these today - randomly, with my iphone - while walking the dog. They were just so beautiful!



9) What's your favorite thing to do on a sunny afternoon?
Hang at the beach - hands down! I love the way the sun reflects off the ocean at that time of day! Planning on doing lots of that this Spring and Summer!

10) Favorite T.V. shows from the Spring line-up:
Parenthood. I'm also really excited to see Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.

Hi Wendy,
I found you without the Mcklinky! Who knew? LOL
I have only been to the beach once, and thought it was grand. It must be nice to live close enough to visit often.
I share your dream of "alone time" to clean.
I enjoyed your post.

I love spring cleaning, well cleaning and organizing in general. It's a sick, sick, illness, but nothing makes me happier! So glad I'm not the only one! :)

I love the beach too! Wish ours was a little warmer :) I'd love a good full day of spring cleaning! Happy FMM!

Happy FMM!

I'm so with you on the desire for alone time to clean! I love it when for whatever reason everyone is gone for a day or a weekend and I can open the windows, turn the music up full blast and clean clean clean!
