Questions

Your favorite color …. You all know from past question-answering sessions that I am rarely definite, rarely black and white. So – my favorite color? Well, that depends. Whatever it might be at this moment, it will be bright. I am not a pastel person. So it could be royal blue, or royal purple, or bright turquoise, teal, pink, lime green – you get the idea, right?

Your favorite animal … I think I’d have to say dog, followed by cat – presuming we’re talking animals that I would get up close and personal (well, not overly personal!) with. If we’re talking animals that I think are beautiful, then I’d say giraffe, deer, gazelle – those slender, graceful creatures.

Your favorite non-alcoholic drink …. For winter, my favorite non-alcoholic drink has recently become tea, preferably a flavored herbal tea. In the summer, it would be lemonade, with pomegranate lemonade a special love.

Facebook or Twitter ….. Facebook. I have accounts with Twitter, Linked-In and Google+ and would go to Google+ if it became more popular with my Facebook friends but currently I only use Facebook. Not sure I understand the need for that many social networking sites.

Your favorite pattern ….. See here we are again – I do not have just one favorite pattern. It depends on the moment, the mood, the week, month or year. Or purpose of the item. The consistency is that I go for bright colors.

Do you prefer getting or giving presents? Oh gosh! If I were what I would like to be, I would say giving. I do love giving and wish I had the wherewithal to do it more often. But I am not going to say I don’t like receiving presents, because I do!

Your favorite number … 5. For now anyway. I wonder what makes a number a favorite?

Your favorite day of the week … Being retired, each day is much like the other. Being no longer young, I think my true favorite day is every day that I get out of bed and move of my own volition.

Your favorite flower …. Peony. Except I really love any flower that honors me with it’s pretty face.

What is your passion? ….. Taking pictures, yes – spending time with friends. Knitting, making jewelry, photo-editing – depending on (you got it!) the moment, the mood, the . . . .

Now we get to the part where I always break the mold and do not follow the rules. Because I cannot choose – if you are on my blog roll, I view you as worthy of many, many awards, including this one. So if it suits you, I would be honored if you would accept the award as my gift to you.
