Friend Makin' Mondays: Springtime



1. Favorite things about Spring: Flowers, the BEACH, rum runners, flip flops, longer days (thank you daylight savings time), taking the dogs for long walks, sunsets, pretty nail polish colors that are totally acceptable (hello lime green!), sundresses, tank tops... I could go on and on. Unfortunately the spring weather hasn't really stayed in Florida yet... we will have a chilly morning, a high of barely 70, and a freezing night. Sigh.

2. What I'm doing for Spring Break: Well, I'm a "big girl" now... do I get a spring break? I guess I could say that I went to a spring training game, had a beach day last week and will be doing some major spring cleaning soon.

3. Favorite Spring flower:

Tulips. Or any flower really. I like colors.

4. Do you have a garden? I had a garden. Somewhere between winter and having dogs running amok in the backyard -- everything died.

5. If so, what do you grow. I tried growing peppers and tomatoes. I managed to get 3 peppers and zero tomatoes.

6. Do you do Spring cleaning? Well, I try. I have several projects that I need to get done this season, and I hope that I have the motivation to do so!

7. What is your weather *really* like right now? {Just b/c it's "officially" spring, doesn't mean that it feels like it for some of you} The weather is cold. Really, really unusually cold for a Florida spring. Saturday it reached maybe 70 and had a chilly breeze (but I was very excited to go to the beach anyway!). I'm hoping it gets warm and stays that way, but the ten day forecast has cold mornings and afternoons in the late 60s and early 70s. Ick.

8. Snapped any weather related photos lately? Share one with us! I posted this yesterday.
Taken Saturday evening at sunset on the beach.

9. What's your favorite thing to do on a sunny afternoon? Beach. I don't even have to be on the sand exactly. I like to walk from restaurant to bar to sand and back again.

10. Favorite TV show right now? Modern Family.

Great picture! And I love Modern Family, too! My husband and I are hoping to take a trip to the beach one day soon, if only to have dinner - I just love to be there and we're so much closer now that we've moved.

Happy FMM!

Ooooh 10 minutes from the beach sounds awesome! Not too many beaches in Oklahoma. They try at some of the lakes but it just isn't the same thing at all!

That photo is gorgeous! We're only a couple hours from the beach, but the Oregon coast is/can be chilly year round. Happy FMM! :)
