Tuesday 4 Spring has Sprungt

 

Spring has Sprung

Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4/

Spring has sprung as they say and sights and sounds of winter have given                    way to those of springtime. With each season even the feel of the sun and                   wind changes and people may also have a change of attitude or a                             change of heart.

1/ Many of my neighbors have chickens.  Have you ever raised them for                    fresh eggs or is the grocer your go to for them? Also.. would the sound                            of a neighbor having them bother you?   I grew up on a farm,  we raised                         chickens *for eggs and meat* cows *for milk and beef* sheep etc.                                  no having chickens wouldn't bother me ...I Still live in the country

2.  How does the change in seasons effect you personally? Are you                           happier in some seasons , do allergies get to you, do you perk up                                     or down due to weather?  A) the season change sometimes effects my                              arthritis.  B)  I love the spring and fall allergies are really bad in the spring                  with all the new grass growth, trees budding  I love the warm sunshine                          I do suffer from low vitamin D in the winter time.  When it is dreary gloomy                cold I do have that tendency to get down.

3.   This week our youngest family member is in France.                                                She will see Paris, Provence, the Riviera, all very exciting for                                             a young teen.    Most of us don't ever do anything that big..                                          .but even the smallest things can have a big effect on  us.                                            What experience  do you think stands out  most for you in your memory?                          Going to TX to visit my family,  then when I moved to TX was lucky enough                 in 2003 to get to go to Mexico it was very cool and way different.  My big                     thing as a teen was going to church camp 200 miles from home

4.  What do you look forward to in each of the year's seasons?                                            Spring time I love all the new beginnings, Easter is  big thing to look forward to summertime so that I can go  trodding thru the natural                                               spring fed creeks,                                                                                                                    fall I love when we  get rain at the right  time so that the trees turn colors,            Thanksgiving I love                                                                                                                wintertime  if   we get snow I love the cleansing that it gives, Christmas
