Seasonal Saturday!


Hope everyone had an enjoyable St. Patrick's Day!  It's just gorgeous outside this weekend, yesterday it was 84 degrees (F) and so Mother Nature is busy doing her thing.  Trees are leafing out, more floral plants are budding and blooming (with a lot of pollen and sneezing that goes along with this).  In continuation of yesterday's Fresh Clean and Pure Friday, I managed to put together, although briefly, five featured blog posts from last week that were shared here on Fresh, Clean, and Pure Friday/Seasonal Saturday.  I've selected from each of the following areas:  food, decor, garden, lifestyle, and crafts.  I hope that you can find time to visit them and/or any that were shared last week.  It was so hard to pick five . . . especially from the foodie blog posts . . . just mouth-watering recipes last week!  There's quite the talented cooks/chefs out there that visit here.  Check 'em out!

click on 'read more' beneath my signature to read all of the shared and featured posts.



Martha @ Seaside Simplicity shared this recipe for our health (and also that works for Lent for those who are giving up or reducing their meat):  Tilapia with Wild Rice.  Who can possibly resist either of these?  I know that I can't!  Thanks Martha!


Carol @ The Gardener has created a nice spring-themed Door Wreath.  I'm all for saving money and creating my own seasonally-themed wreathes for the door.  Carol always inspires me!

Miz Helen's Country Cottage has a great post for those who can't get straight out into their gardens yet:  The Seeds Are Started.  This should get a lot of gardeners more into the mood for spring!  I know that I've been in the mood since November!  Seriously!

Charm of the Carolines has a helpful post on Spring Cleaning the Kitchen.  I don't know about any of you, but when my kitchen and home are clean, I'm feeling good for the day!  Thank goodness, it's clean, but you know what they say, "it's never-ending"!  Oh well, just thankful to have a wonderful kitchen!!

Bonnie @ City Home/Country Home has a fabulous Knit Scarf idea.  I don't know how to knit, but I think this is really a cute design idea for those of you who do or who know someone who knits.  Can you make one of these for me, Bonnie?  :-D!


Yes, you can link up more than one post, that's OK!  Just remember that I gently delete any post that is not related to the theme of how we are living seasonally, or how we are freshening and cleaning up our lifestyles.  No giveaways, no coupons or trying to sell stuff, etc!  I do love all of the posts that you share and do my best to get around and thank you all of you personally for joining in!  If I can't get to it, please forgive me.

  8. I added a pasta dish which might sound strange but it is fresh, clean and pure in terms of it using fresh tomatoes and newly made mozzarella. That was such a treat and it was as simple as can be.
