 1. What most recently gave you goose bumps? 

I recently attended a retreat. One of the women who shared her survival story gave me the goose bumps.

 

 2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate?  

Halloween is strong around here. A lot of Halloween decorations in the neighborhood. Kids do not go trick or treating like they used to door to door. They seem to go to parties or Trunk and Treat events. 

We no longer are open for trick or treating, because we do not have kids come door to door.  

 3. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia...your favorite seed on the list? What's something you like to make/eat that calls for one of these seeds in the recipe? 

 I love poppy seeds. I love lemon poppy seed muffins. 

4. What's the most (or one of the most) 'fall photos' you've ever taken? Share it here. Just one. 

 

 This photo is a favorite of mine. We were heading over to visit our friend Marv on an October evening, to give him a jack o lantern we carved for him. He had just stoked the fire. The smell of wood smoke, the calm on the lake as an autumn night rolls in. 

 

5. Somehow we're rolling in to November next week. If your October were a chapter in a book, what would the title of this chapter be?  

Gone to Soon

Hello Friends,

It is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on 'Back To The Future Day'. October 21, 2015 was the date the movie characters (Marty McFly, Doc, and Jennifer Parker) traveled to in the future in the 1989 film Back To The Future Part 2. 

Did you see the movie? Tell us a something about what was happening in your life in the fall of 2015. 

 

I did not see the movie.

In the autumn of 2015 our oldest son was just learning how to drive. Hang on Mom!

 

 2. Which -ber month is your favorite? (September, October, November, December). Explain why. 

  Oh Golly, this is hard. My birthday is in December. But oh I do love October days.

 

 3. Red, yellow, orange, bronze...your favorite fall color to wear? To eat? To see in nature? 

 

I do like to wear shades of red.

I enjoy squash to eat, yellow and orange. 

I love red, yellow, orange and bronze in nature. 

 

4. What do you miss most about being 20? 

I was with out some of the pain in the butts that I have now... a few examples...

Having to wear progressive glasses or bifocals.. No fun! 

Having to watch what I eat or I pay for it later, if you know what I mean.

  5. We're roughly three quarters of the way through the year. What's one goal, habit, or mindset you want to purposely carry into the final weeks of the year? Elaborate. 

 

 Choose JOY each day.

Current events can easily steal your JOY if I dedicate too much time on them.
