Friday Five

1. What is your favorite time of the year? Spring. Definitely.
2. What is it about your favorite season that, well, makes it your favorite season? The yellow of daffodils and forsythias, the brand-new green of trees and shrubs budding, the sun returning. Spring in North Carolina is amazingly beautiful, spring in Norway is equally gorgeous, but starts later and has an unbelievable intensity and drama about it.
3. What is your least favorite time of year? Why? In N.C., winter. In Norway, late fall before any snow falls (it's generally very rainy) and everything is drab and dreary. And the darkness of winter in Norway is de-pressing.
4. Do you do anything to celebrate or recognize the changing of seasons? Not really. Spring cleaning, maybe?
5. What's your favorite thing to do outside? Sit in the sun and read. Swimming's good. Walks, perhaps. Gardening, that would be it.
