10 on the 10th: April!

Say what…

If you think I’m going to bemoan the fact that it’s already April, think again! I’ve always liked April for many reasons. I think the biggest reason is because it’s when Spring starts to really appear here in the Midwest. Another reason is my mom’s birthday is in April as is my oldest granddaughter’s. Of course, diamonds are also the birthstone for April so there’s that! April is just a delightful month! As it is the 10th of the month, it’s time for another edition of 10 on the 10th and another round of Would You Rathers!

Without further ado…

• Would you rather wear clothes made of feathers or clothes made of flower petals?
  • Oh, it’s flower petals all the way for me, baby!  Imagine a dress made of layer upon layer of hibiscus petals.  Or, what if each layer were a different color of roses?  You’d smell heavenly, right?  The bees would love you (which might not be a good thing for some). And, then, there’s the added benefit of disguising those ripples and dimples! 
• Would you rather listen to birds chirping or frogs croaking?
  • This is a hard one for me.  I love the sound of both, especially those first croaks of springtime.  I think the winner is listening to birds chirping.  With my tinnitus, it’s difficult to hear them most days, but if I really work at it, I can hear them.  And, I like to think they’re singing because they’re happy and content. 
• Would you rather vacation on a remote yet tropical beach or near a thriving city?
  • Oh, dang!  Tis another difficult question!  While the notion of a tropical beach does sound quite nice, I always think about the creepy crawly things that might burrow into my clothing or bags.  And, I honestly do not like to be hot!  Let’s face it, bikini season left this body behind years ago…though I wouldn’t let that stop me since it would be remote.  But, I love a big city, especially if it’s walkable.  It’s funny, though, I don’t really enjoy downtown Indianapolis which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from me.  I just need someone to go with me.  I do love London, Seattle, Washington, DC, and the Big Apple, New York City, though the latter does intimidate me a bit.  I am not a person to just sit on vacation.  I want to do something…especially if that involves museums and monuments!
• Would you rather have Peeps in your Easter/holiday basket  or jellybeans?
  • Well, I don’t ever get an Easter basket because I’m the one who always makes them up.  But, I’m definitely Team Peeps!  They have to be yellow, and they have to be chicks!  I also love to open the package and let them get hard and crusty…mmmmm…delicious!
• Would you rather spend a day planting seeds or a day at the beach?
  • Easy peasy…see the above answer!  Plus, I love to grow things.  I think I got that from my Grandma Luderman.  She would have a humongous garden.  Some of it was devoted to veggies, but the vast majority of it was flowers.  Now, that we’ve drastically downsized (I’m such a whiner), I have very little real estate upon which I can plant.  So, I have lots and lots of containers to fill up with seeds and plants.  I’m anxiously awaiting planting season! 
• Would you rather grow green grass or grass of a color of your choosing?
  • Now, this is a fun one to think about!  We are so used to the idea of green grass that it would be weird, at first, to see grass of a different color.  But, I would definitely choose a different color.  I think it would probably be lavender, or would it be blue?  I know it wouldn’t be yellow because that would be too much like dead grass, right?  I’m trying to imagine it.  Oh, it would be like living in Oz, wouldn’t it?
• Would you rather wear sandals with socks or sandals with hosiery?
  • Oh, another tough one because I’m not a fan of either one.  I think it would be sandals and socks because you’d be able to make a fashion statement.  And, the question doesn’t specify how long you’d have to do it.  So, I could definitely wear a fun pair of socks with sandals.
• Would you rather have flowers for fingers or flowers for toes?
  • Toes, definitely toes!  I need my fingers to do things.  But, then, I wonder about the balance issue.  How would you walk?  I guess, if you were born with flowers for either appendage, you’d already have an adaptation for it, right?  But, imagine looking at your toes and seeing some pretty flowers looking back at you!  Speaking of toes, I seriously need a pedicure!
• Would you rather do the chicken dance or the bunny hop?
  • The chicken dance for the win!  I love the chicken dance!  I don’t have a single groove bone so that’s one dance I can do and not have to worry about looking silly!  Plus, you just feel so happy when you’re chicken dancing!  Try not to laugh while you’re chicken dancing, I double dog dare you!
• Would you rather be a caterpillar or a tadpole?
  • Another easy one!  I’d much rather be a caterpillar because then I’d be a butterfly. I could fly here and there and sip sweet nectar.  Of course, with my luck, I’d actually end up being a brown moth of some kind.  But, there’s beauty in those, too.  Not that being a frog or toad, eventually, wouldn’t be fun, too!

Wrap it up, Marsha!
