Happy Wednesday
It is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. Are you a risk taker? To what degree?
I am not. I hold the cards steady in the game of life.
But in a game of cards, I can get risky, it usually pays off.
2. What's your favorite candy? Would you say you have a sweet tooth?
Right now, I am enjoying Dark Reese's Thins ... thank you to my mom for gifting me some in a Trick or Treat bag she made up for me and my husband.
I do have a sweet tooth.
3. Somewhere you've been recently that had you feeling 'like a kid in a candy store'?
I was at a local plant nursery. Hold me back, or all the plants will be coming home with me.
4. What do you think is the most effective way to make a positive change in the world?
I just had this conversation with our village clerk. She is dealing with a lot of negativity in our village. Sadly, community is no longer a strong point in our little village, it once was, but it has changed after COVID and it is SLOW to come back.
As I shared with our village clerk, friendly communication is the key to starting to make a change, in my opinion.
5. Do you like surprises?
I do.
If they are good surprises.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Goodbye October .. thank you for the amazing weather for us here in Northwest Wisconsin.
I feel the same about our October weather. It's been a beauty.I think many good things in society have been slow to return post-Covid, which is sad. How sweet of your mom to make you a trick or treat bag : )
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. Our weather has been fabulous. Enjoy those Reeses! Hugs Kris
ReplyDeleteGood morning Carla... Beautiful Fall up there in your area. We finally have a cool morning today..in the 40's. I'm not a risk taker..probably should be a little more than I am. Make sure you don't give your Trick R' Treaters the dark Reese's thins... Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYum to the Reese's and how nice of your mom making a Trick or Treat bag for you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteAhh! I get like that when it comes to buying plants. hehehe
That is such a shame about the negativity in your community. I hope things are better soon.
I'm glad that the weather is treating you right. I assume winter is a bit brutal there?? I like your play on words with the game of life and cards- so clever! I like to look at plants as well and do tend to overbuy. Have a great one!
ReplyDeleteHey Carla. Sorry I haven't visited like I should. I've simply got to get back to sewing and blogging more, especially more visiting blogs. Your river header picture is beautiful. Had to sit and look at it for a minute. I am not a risk taker either...just the opposite. I agree with you on most all your answers...Oh except for the dark chocolate. I love milk chocolate. :)
ReplyDeleteSo you are living in a village...is that like a really small town? I would love to go with you to a plant nursery of garden center, we would both be so excited and it would be so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Reese's Dark Thins. We are having a heat wave today and will be near 100! I live in the city and not many fall trees. Your picture is so nice!
ReplyDeleteConversation is such a good start to understanding a person. Reese's dark thins, I'll have to keep my eye out. Glad to read you are having a beautiful autumn!
ReplyDeleteDear Carla, your photos are gorgeous. I enjoyed reading more about you.
ReplyDeleteLook at that fall color - beautiful! I agree that I only like surprises if they are good surprises. How nice that your mother made you a treat bag for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers, Carla. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a risk taker, but if it's something that important, then I'm a prayer. : ) The dark Reese's Thins sound Yummy. I'm sorry your village has had some negativity recently. If there is anyone to get that back, it's you, Carla. I love surprises too.....good ones. : ) Your Autumn photos are so pretty. I hope you have sweet November days ahead.
