A (mostly) Instagram Update

Yep. This is me becoming one of those bloggers who don't post for weeks, and then when they finally do, they cheat and post Instagram pictures of yummy coffee drinks and ice cream with sprinkles, and then try to tell you that they've been crazy busy. 

Except this post doesn't have any coffee or sprinkles- just tea- but you don't have to be jealous or suddenly crave it, 'cause it was semi-nasty...

I caught a cold that's been going around- sore throat, cough + stuffy nose.
So I drank tea that wasn't super delish, and that made my throat feel a bit better. 
(I'm mostly over it now.)

Hauling maple sap. This is the first year I can remember where the trees have still been running in May.

My bestie & cousin's wedding! 
Despite the super chilly weather (we nearly froze taking pictures outside [& that really didn't help my cold!]), it was a rather fantastic wedding, and I had a ton of fun.

Guess who caught the bouquet? 
...it was pretty much either catch it, or let it smash into my face. Fortunately, I had just enough hand-eye coordination to do the former.

It's finally been warm enough the past few days to be outside without bundling up.

Today, I found the first hepaticas of the year! If you're from Minnesota, you know that means- Spring!!

Spring!

Northern Minnesota.

This is April a few years back.
 
March 2012. 70 degree weather.

Not gonna complain. ;D

Spring Gala Blog Party!



1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?


  Hmm... Europe, or else a cruise to somewhere warm and watery. I can't decide. :)

2. What is the oldest item you own?


Probably one of my books, or else a doll that belonged to my Mum when she was a girl.

3. If you had to pick one hero, who would it be?


 Real life? Book/movie character? No idea who I'd choose in real life, and there are so many good heroes in books I'm not sure who I would choose in that case either. We'll say Tirian, from The Last Battle. :)

4. If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead. Who would it be?


Dinner with a random person from history could be very awkward. How about my sisters and my besties? There's more than three of them, but they would be way more fun than someone I didn't know. :)

5. Which do you like better, Coke or Pepsi?


I don't drink pop enough to know, I guess. I don't like either very much.

6. What would you rather have- chocolate or a cookie?


 Unless it was a really good cookie, I'd choose chocolate over a cookie any day.

7. What is your favorite season?

 

Probably Summer. I like them all in different ways.

8. What's your favorite thing about Spring?


 Watching all the snow melt, the grass turn green, and the puddles. I like puddles. :)

9. What's your favorite music?


  Soundtracks, Relient K, and Barlow Girl.

10. What's your fashion/personal style?


Bold yet classy? I'm not sure how to describe it. :)
