Gfpacificbee’s Insights & photography

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  What to you is the first sign of Spring?

The first sign of Spring is seeing the new buds on plants and especially the blossoms blooming on the magnificent cherry trees. However, it was the Flowering Dogwood when I lived in Lancaster, South Carolina. The whole street was/is lined with the Dogwood trees. When they started blossoming, one knew Spring was just around the corner.

2.  Do you have a favourite flower at this time of year?

My favourite flower anytime of the year are roses. Growing up we always had roses and carnations in our garden. Seasonally, I do not have a particular preference.

3.  Does your country exercise the hour change?

My state exercises daylight savings time. There are, however, two states along with five U. S. Territories which do not observe daylight savings time.

The states and territories which do not observe Daylight Saving time are:

• Arizona
• Hawaii
• American Samoa
• Guam
• Northern Mariana Islands
• Puerto Rico
• U.S. Virgin Islands

Personally, I wish all states would do away with daylight savings time. It is hard on the mind and body to have to adjust to the time changes.

4.  Do you spring clean your home throughout, change furniture around or keep to a normal routine?

Spring clean, yes. Change furniture around, no. Thorough cleaning is done every few months or so, but purging the old and unused is not done often enough. Otherwise, I keep to a basically normal routine.

Gratitude:

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

~ Charles Dickens
