What is your favourite thing about spring? Honestly - I hate spring, lol. Its so muddy and my dog always comes inside caked with mud. Plus spring here in Chicago is always still cold anyway. I was originally looking forward to it though because May 12 is Conner and Ben's EDD (although we were going to deliver in April). Do you enjoy gardening? Hate it. Everything I touch dies. But I am trying to do better so that our house looks nice and pretty
What is your favourite flower? I never had one until the boys died. Now I like forget me nots - it reminds me of them. What are some of your favourite spring time activities?
Just getting outside in general without having to really bundle up - usually a coat is fine in the Spring here.
Shedding some layers and watching the green and color come back.
Do you enjoy gardening?
No but I guess I never really tried - I have a hard time keeping plants alive so not sure how successful i would be- we have a pretty big yard in the new house so who knows the possibilities....
What is your favourite flower?
Daisies
What are some of your favourite spring time activities?
Taking my nephew to the park, being outdoors, going to local wine and food festivals.
What is your favourite thing about spring? I never used to love spring, but I feel like I can "feel" our girl smiling down at us through the sunrays and that gives me a reason to like it.
Do you enjoy gardening? Yes, but I have a self-proclaimed black thumb. I kill all plant life. Animals? I'm good...just not plants. Maybe this year (the third year I've tried) my vegetable garden will grow...
What is your favourite flower? Hmmm. I'm not super big on flowers in general, but I like gerberas. Roses if they're from DH.

What is your favourite flower? Carnations.
What are some of your favourite spring time activities? I love being able to take DS to the park [and we'll take his sister this year, too]. Easter egg hunts are always fun, too!

Do you enjoy gardening? Enjoy it? Yes, very much so....am I good at it? Nope, lol... I pretty much have a flower bed full of wilting flowers quite quickly, haha. I try though that's what counts:) I'm thinking of turning my flower bed into a little memory garden for Jack. Maybe that will inspire me to pay more attention to it this year.
