Hello friends. I can't believe we're already at the end of March! It's still cold and dreary here, and I'm looking forward to the warm and sunny days of spring.
I'm joining Patty for the Monthly Musings link-up.
The topic this month is Spring Holidays and Fun.
HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:
1) No. It does NOT feel like spring here. The weather still feels cold and dreary, and we've had a lot of rainy days. I am still wearing my winter coat with a scarf, and I'm so tired of this cold weather. I can't wait for the days when I can wear a light spring coat, and it's sunny and 60 degrees out.
2) We celebrate Easter. I love these Easter decorations displayed in a local store in our neighborhood.
3) No. We do not have any trips planned for this spring. We want to try and get out and explore different areas of the city for some day trips.
4) Each year for the Easter season, it's a tradition for me to make Spaghetti Pie. I learned how to make this dish from my husband's aunt, who was from Italy. It's delicious tasting, and my family loves it.
5) We don't have any festivals planned for this spring. In the past, we've attended summer festivals in our neighborhood that are fun, and there is always a lot of good food to try.
6) One of my tips for the spring allergy season is to take allergy medicine to relieve any sneezing and a runny nose. When my allergies act up, I take a Claritin tab that works great. If it's windy outside and pollen is flying around, I like to keep my windows closed. If I'm outside and there is pollen on my clothes or hair, I like to change clothes and take a shower.
7) What makes me think "OK, it's finally spring" is when I can wear a light sweater outside and no coat. When it's a warm sunny day. When I see a lot of spring flowers in yards and gardens in my neighborhood.
8) Dislike - I do not like spring rain. I like warm and sunny days.
9) I don't have any particular spring holiday dessert. My Italian husband loves having a pastry for the feast of St. Joseph. We had these pastries from a local bakery that we love.
10) One of my favorite spring drinks is an Aperol Spritz. My daughter has turned me onto a Hugo Spritz, which is also good.

I can't wait for warmer weather and some nice Spring days. I want to try a Hugo spritz! Those pastries look so good and so does your spaghetti pie.
ReplyDeleteI love holiday meal traditions and your spaghetti pie sounds like a good one -- holiday or not! Oh, spring -- where ARE you? At least the snow is gone and they threaten 60s, but until it is sunny and 60s every day for a week with no daytime rain, it's hard to believe it is spring!
