For once, I am just about on time for the Monday Challenge! And what a fun one it is – it’s all about Spring! Follow the links below to visit Berry’s blog and post your own! Meme Instructions: Share a spring-themed picture and/or answers the following questions about the season. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments and share your picture in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

1. What is the spring season like where you live? – It’s warmer here in spring than winter, mostly because we’re in the hills – but near enough that we can see the water as it ebbs and flows. We had the third rough winter in a row and are still working on home and property repairs. BUT…it’s glorious as the weather warms up and the fields fill with flowers! There is rain and wind, but it just makes for more beauty.
2. What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of spring? – I think of gardening! I LOVE to garden and always have a big herbe garden and lots of flowers and plants growing around outside and inside. This year, I’m doing a salad garden too. YUM!
3. Which spring-themed sim in Second Life is your favorite at the moment? – That is really hard to determine. There are so many that are well-done by some of our world’s great artists and creators. We have a fall-themed sim, the home part of Ce Soir is kind of French-country springy (but parts of it are more fantasy and winter-themed), and the other sim is (as if by magic!) turning into a forest. I’ve taken photos at all three as well as other sims in the course of this challenge. I finally settled on this photo, taken right here at home! I call it Spring Dreams…

Please remember that you can participate in any of the memes/challenges at any time. You’ll find them all under Berry’s Blog Challenges category along with other memes and challenges.

My dress is from ~ghee~ by Warm Clarity-Jupiter and hair is Ainsley from Truth. The necklace and earrings are Charity from Blush Bravin (I don’t think they’re available anymore), and my rings are from R H Engel (Champagne Wedding Set) – also no longer available – and the TBJ102R Eternity Ring from Trimmer Bay by Trimmer Navarita. You can’t see my boots, but they’re the Suede Overknee Boots from ~ghee~ too and I made the tights myself (*giggle*).

My skin is Belleza’s Nina Med 6 (with Glam Affair’s CLEO lipstick 02 America), and the pose is from VISTA ANIMATIONS by Vista Barnes (part of The Perfect Lady AO that I have used since it came out). I have other AOs (mostly from Vista, but I always go back to The Perfect Lady. This is, however, NOT to say that I think I am perfect. <SMILE>
