It is a Badlands Hodgepodge

 

Badlands, South Dakota

 

Hello Friends,

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

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

 1. April 22nd is Earth Day...what's the most 'out of this world' place on earth you've ever visited? Tell us something about it. 

 We visited the Badlands in South Dakota. In my opinion it is 'out of this world' with unique beauty. 

 


 

I found a flower growing.  

 

 

The colors are always changing in the landscape. 

They call it the land of stone and light.

 

 

2. A favorite quote, verse, or song lyric with the word earth in it? 

 

"The earth laughs in flowers." 

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 

 3. What's the most trivial thing about which you have a strong opinion? 


 

I do not like when one mixes our coffee roasts. Ha! 

We purchase different roasts of coffee. I like to just have the french roast be the french roast. There is someone else in this house that will mix the french roast with the dark roast and other roasts. He makes up his own roast I guess. 

Ha!

 4. What's your most commonly used kitchen utensil or tool? What's the last thing you made using that tool? 

The strainer. I use a strainer just about everyday.

I strained tuna to make a tuna sandwich for lunch.

 

5. Marilyn (Memphis Bridges) gave me a great book of 3000 questions, and I'm going to try to use one in our Hodgepodge every week. Here is today's - 

What is your greatest extravagance? 

 

Plants!! 

Seeds!!

Gardening gear!!

 


 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

  1. I would like to go to the Badlands someday! Great pictures and I love that you found a flower! It's almost GO time for the garden!! We generally wait until about Mother's Day to plant (though I have a few things in the ground that are cold tolerant). Have a great day!
