A Fallish Wednesday Hodgepodge...

Thank you, Joyce, for today's questions!  Y'all can join in HERE!

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 521


From this Side of the Pond

1. It's officially fall y'all. In the northern hemisphere anyway. Any signs of it where you are?  No.  Florida. What's your favorite thing about this time of year? Here in central Florida, it does get a bit cooler and less humid but not until mid-October, usually. October is when Snowbird Season starts...

2. Have you visited any 'falls' in person? Tell us about one of your favorites? Of the following top ten famous falls (according to this site ) which would you most like to see in person-  Just Niagara Falls, three or four times. Beautiful and powerful.  There are lots of lovely falls to see in the USA, without traveling to another country.  Our hostess, Joyce, has shared photos of many!!

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), Igazu Falls (Argentina/Brazil), Niagara Falls (US/Canada), Angel Falls (Venezuela), Yosemite Falls (California), Dettifoss (Iceland) Kaieteur Falls (Guyana), Plitvice Waterfalls (Croatia), Gullfoss-Golden Falls (Iceland), or Sutherland Falls (New Zealand)

3. What's something you'll miss about summer?  Really, not a thing. 

4. A favorite fall recipe?  My mom's pumpkin bread.  The recipe is in the recipe page above.  It is the only pumpkin thing I really love.

5. Something you enjoy but lately have allowed it to 'fall by the wayside'? Pasta. I am trying to watch carb intake so am passing on pasta lately.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  I am finishing Season 3 of The Chosen.  If you haven't watched this amazing series about Jesus (New Testament), I highly recommend it.  It is so well done.


Peace and Hugs!

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).

  1. Amen to the Scripture verses above. Yes, "fall" is my favorite season of the year, and here in Florida, our winter is really more like fall, so it lasts a long time! And I hear you about pasta...I love it, but it doesn't love me! LOL. I haven't watched all of "the Chosen" yet. It's on my bucket list. I hope you have a lovely rest of your week and long weekend!

  2. I just made pumpkin bread. Yum!
    I like the Tahquamenon Falls in the U.P. They are big and beautiful, but not so full of tourists.
    We love The Chosen.
    Have a great day! (Good verse you shared)

  4. I always found it amazing that it was like a light switch that would go off around the middle of October and Florida weather would take a big turn.

  5. Chuckling b/c we answered the same to #3! I'm going over to check out your mom's pumpkin bread now. Maybe served warm with a bit of cinnamon butter? Yum!

  6. I wish I liked pumpkin, Terri, but I've never warmed up to the taste of it.
    Have a great week!

  7. We started The Chosen but then got busy so maybe we'll try again when the weather isn't so nice. We are out on the porch most evenings and I love that. I am not a big pumpkin fan but I do like pumpkin bread. I'll have to check out your recipe. Have a great day Terri!

  8. I love your four seasons - bugs and all - of your Florida.
    I love pumpkin bread.
    I have finished the 3rd Chosen - I think it is a lot about the disciples too - don't you?
