Memes

 Good morning from an already warm central Florida. Skipping right over spring, I think. Just memes for the post today.

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? We had chickens when we lived in Alabama. I do miss having land and farm animals. We buy organic brown eggs from the grocer. I do see signs for fresh eggs but never stop. I should. Also... would the sound of a neighbor having them bother you? No, someone around here has chickens and a rooster.

2.  How does the change in seasons effect you personally? Anyone who knows me knows I am not a summer person and actually I get pretty mental about it. Are you happier in some seasons, do allergies get to you, do you perk up or down due to weather? I do have allergies. I perk up when the weather is not so humid.  

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? When I was a kid, we were shipped off to grandparents in Chicago and then the family winery/vineyard/farm in Michigan. Such fond memories.

4.  What do you look forward to in each of the year's seasons? Spring-the flora and fauna here in Florida. Summer-the beach, that is all I got to say about summer. Fall and winter-the humidity starts to drop off some. I also change out the decorations in the house.

1. The Hodgepodge lands on National Picnic Day...will you celebrate? Nope. Although, Thursday I did have to drive up to Live Oak-Suwannee County (an hour and half) for an Education Conference and they did serve us lunch. I guess you can call it a picnic. I had a roast beef sub, and it was good.

Do you enjoy picnics? Yes Dining out of doors picnic or otherwise? Well, I will tell you, hubby has made a nice dining area outside, however, the humidity is upon us, and I refuse to eat outside. So, indoors it is. What are three or four things I'd find in your picnic basket? Potato salad, chicken, lemonade.

2.  A time recently where you felt 'antsy'? Recently? Hmm...probably the drive to Live Oak, I 75 and then I 10 are something else. More like taking one's life in your own hands.

3. As the saying goes...'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Do you like lemonade? Yes, I love lemonade. When did you recently need to make lemonade out of lemons, figuratively speaking? Yesterday. I have a couple of new students who have very bad attitudes and refuse to do math because they don't want to. So, I worked with them as a group. Tried to smooth things over etc.

4. Recently five 'celebrities' made a brief (ll minute) foray into space aboard Jeff Bezos Blue Origin rocket. Did you hear about this? Yes Your thoughts? Fake If money were no object is this something you'd like to do someday? Nope

5. Favorite thing about the 'space' you're sitting in right now? My roll top desk from Pamelas son, Benton when they owned Dixie Cottage in Interlachen. Benton and Rose don't own the shop anymore, but they do have another business.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

It's been a busy week with meetings here and there and cancellation of classes because of it. But I will say, once my feet hit the ground, I am running and before you know it, it's time to go home. I have expressed my thoughts about staying in this present position, and we shall see where it goes, if it goes...he has not given me any indication on where or what I am doing.

Have a beautiful day all.
