OCTOBER 1st: The Wednesday Hodgepodge...

 Thanks to our hostess, Joyce, for today's questions!  You can join in HERE!

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 622


From this Side of the Pond


1. What's your favorite fall scent?  Cinnamon.  Would we find this in or around your home right now?  I have a fall candle that smells like cinnamon that sits on the windowsill in the kitchen.

2. October is Country Music Month...are you a fan of country music?  I like classic country.  Do you have a favorite country artist?  Alan Jackson, Reba, Willie...  Ever been to Nashville?  No, but it's on my bucket list.  In terms of lifestyle, are you more country mouse or city mouse?  Definitely country.

3. How about 'country cooking'? (loosely defined as rich flavors, familiar foods, large portions, often fried, and often associated with the southern region of the US of A)? 

chicken and dumplings-fried chicken-shrimp and grits-biscuits and gravy-mac and cheese-fried green tomatoes-cornbread-collard or turnip greens-deviled eggs-'barbecue'-gumbo-banana pudding 

Which of the foods listed is your favorite? Any on the list you haven't tried or would say a firm no thank you to if offered?  I'm from the Midwest (Ohio), but have been in Florida for 36 years, and Virginia for 8 years before Florida.  I'm not fond of collards, so I'll leave them and the banana pudding for someone else.  All the other foods could be found on my plate, and I have tried them all.  Yum.

4. What's something that always has a positive impact on your mood?  Good food!  Good friends!  Cats, dogs, horses, animals in general...

5. As we say so long to September, share a noun, a verb, and an adjective that tells us something about how that month looked for you.  Fun.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  Speaking of fun... I started doing a 'color by number' game on my phone, once a day.  You can guess that I usually look for a cat picture.  I won't post them all (lots) but here are a few I've done recently.  I'm not looking for compliments (they aren't my art!), but just want you to know these are a lot of fun to do.  They aren't difficult, and I find them to be calming.  The app I use is called Happy Color, but there are a lot of them to  try.






Thanks for stopping by!!  Peace & Hugs!!

Praise to the Lord,
The Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him,
For He is thy Health and Salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
