Wednesday Hodgepodge - 11/2/26


Joyce provides the questions, we provide our answers and link up here.

1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'? 

I actually can't think of anything.

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? 

Well I'm retired so I definitely have time to stop and smell the roses.

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

Little gestures.  A thank you, an acknowledgement.  An offer of help.

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? 

Could I have both please?  Oh, only one then it would be the flowers - they'd last longer lol. No plans for Valentine's Day.

5. Share a favourite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love. 


6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I managed a trip to the library today and a walk back through the park without getting wet!  The threat of rain is always there though as you can see in the pictures I took.  It's fun to photograph the trees without their leaves so you can the structure of the tree.

  1. I love the tree photographs, especially the bare trees against the blue sky. So pretty! We hit 70 degrees today and it felt wonderful. Have a nice week!

  5. Love the tree pics. There’s something about trees in winter that captures the imagination.

  6. Your sky looks moody, a nice blue and then a dark cloud. Here it is very humid, and I have difficulties to breath. Our restaurant is nicely decorated for Valentine's, although we only have widows here and a few widowers. You can count them on one hand. Couples even less and they won't certainly not celebrate, they fight the whole day; even if the rooms are very big, they are always in their feet !
