Spring is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Flowers are beginning to bloom, bees are buzzing around, the sun begins to warm the breeze, birds are singing their songs, trees are starting to put forth their leaves, everything is coming alive again.
I can’t think of a better time to host a brunch and celebrate this new season. My table is simple enough so that anyone can pull this off with almost anything you have available in your kitchen.
This summer has been a very busy time around my house. My husband and I decided to move back south after the past winter we experienced in upstate New York.
The winter here in upstate New York has proven to be one of the hardest and longest since we moved here five years ago. We have had snow, snow, and more snow. Many days the temperature had a hard time climbing past negative numbers. We have never experienced a winter this tough since we have lived here or ever in our lives – lol. The die-hard New Yorkers I have spoken to say this was a tough winter even for them. Hey, that made me feel a little better. Maybe I have toughened up a little since I arrived.
Now with the sun shining more and robins starting to arrive my heart is yearning for spring to hurry up and get here.
This year was my turn to host the annual Easter brunch for the Lady’s Book Club. Whoever hosts the brunch does not have to prepare the main food courses. I only have to decorate the table and prepare fresh fruit and drinks, which is nice. Everyone else brings the food.
Happy New Year! Isn’t it hard to believe the calendar already shows 2015?
