Spring Questionnaire

Last week, Dara posted a fun Spring questionnaire and I thought I would participate. We could all use a light-hearted post. Let me know if you answer the questions too.

1. Do you decorate for Easter or Spring?
I do decorate each year for Easter/Spring. I haven't yet, and I am not sure why.

2. What Spring holidays do you celebrate?
We celebrate Easter.

3. Do you have any fun Spring traditions?
We don't have any fun traditions other than the usual Easter traditions like Easter egg hunts and Easter dinner.

4. Do you have any recipes you make every Spring?
I make this Spring pasta with pancetta, peas and asparagus. I actually made it this last weekend.

5. Do you switch out any of your decor for Spring?
I add Spring like decor along with my Easter decor. I don't really change out anything. I just add to our normal decor.

6. Do you add in any outdoor Spring decorating touches?
I usually have a wreath, and some items that you stake in the ground saying the Easter bunny is coming.

7. Do you have favorite Spring cocktail or drink?
I feel like this drink is a Spring cocktail. We called it a money penny, but after looking it up, ours was completely different than what was mentioned. My best friend, Nathalie, introduced it to me.

Here is the recipe for our favorite Spring/anytime cocktail.
1 shot Peach Schnapps
1 shot Ketel One
Champagne

Combine the Schnapps and Ketel One in a shaker. Shake and put into a martini glass that has been rimmed with sugar. Top with Champagne and add a lemon twist,

8. Pink? Love or hate?
I love pink. I wear it all the time.

9. Favorite Spring flower?
Peonies!

10. Are things blooming where you live yet?
They are and it is a little worrisome when we keep getting rain and snow mixed into 50 degree weather. I hope it doesn't kill the blossoms off.

  1. Oh how I love peonies as well! And that cocktail sounds so good, some friends and I are thinking about having a virtual cocktail hour and maybe I can suit up in my hazmat suit and go get the items to make it!

    1. You totally should make it if you can get the ingredients. I have gone to my grocery store, but they have taken major precautions about people in the stores here. Luckily, I go at off times and it seems ok. Other than that we just stay here. I think I need to do a virtual cocktail hour too!

  5. Oh I just love peonies!! I've actually been contemplating planting a few more bunches around the yard so I'll hopefully have enough to pick some to bring inside.

    1. I love them so much. We used to grow them but they stopped coming back. I think we should plant some more.

  6. I'm with you on the peonies! We had a peony plant (actually four) at our home in NY, and I miss them! Also, I need to make that spring pasta. It sounds so good!

    1. I miss them too. We used to have a few plants here of them, but they stopped growing. And we haven't done any planting this year. The pasta is really good. I love it and how light it is.

    1. Me too. It is sooo easy and sooo good. I wish I had decorated already. I just need to get the motivation because the girls will definitely love them.

  8. I didn't decorate for spring/Easter this year yet either! I guess there's no reason not to since we're home to enjoy it!
