Here we are again and I'm springing into the Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce and the gang at From This Side of the Pond. Again this week I'm not attempting all of the questions. Just the easier ones. So ...
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.
I'll soon be springing into action at my volunteer job. Just got word today of an upcoming ministry opportunity in April, so I'll be planning menus to prepare for a small volunteer work team.
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
Oh, this is a tough questions ... it would be between asparagus and strawberries. I'll go with strawberries! (Although, up here, strawberries are more of a late June, early July crop, not spring.) This Strawberry Cheesecake Pie from Spend with Pennies is a favorite for sure.
5. What's one task on your spring cleaning list? Do you actually have a list?
Surprisingly, I do have a list. Actually, I made a list for every zone back when I thought our NV family was coming for 2 weeks. Even though they would be staying at our cottage, I knew they would be here a lot and that the younger kiddos would want to see the nooks and crannies of their mom's childhood home. So I made a list for each zone and started working on one a week about five weeks before their intended arrival. My plan did not work flawlessly, but it was effective, and so I'm continuing to work on those lists and hoping the family will reschedule for June. And am trying to also incorporate that 7-day home reset I've been talking about, on an ongoing basis.
This week I am tackling mirrors, door glass, and picture glass, from Day 3 of the home reset. This window cleaning system my daughter told me about makes this task a breeze. I actually bought three more sets when I saw how well these cloths work.
And there's my bit for this week's Hodgepodge!
That is wonderful news about the upcoming ministry opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThat Strawberry Cheesecake Pie sounds so good!
I like to have a schedule for cleaning this time of year as we tackle some projects that are seasonal and not weekly or daily. It helps if I put the bigger jobs on the calendar on different days and for some reason just doing that helps me get them done. It's a crazy mind game lol. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI need to get into a better pattern for house-cleaning. My body doesn't always cooperate with my cleaning sprees, but if I do a little at a time it would be better for me, I'm sure. So thank you for the idea. Our strawberry season here in Florida has pretty much passed already, although there are still some places that grow them this late in the season. Strawberry cheesecake pie sounds like a delicious dessert! I hope you have a lovely rest of your week!
