It is time for the pink and white confetti. Our apple trees will soon start to drop pink and white confetti. It will dance in the wind and fill the ground with pink and white.
And it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. What do you make more complicated than it needs to be?
I am going to answer what took me forever to do just the other day. I was adjusting my car seat. I went up and down, back and forth several times, I think I ended up in the same place I started.
2. What impresses you?
Honesty!!
3. On a scale of 1-10 how picky of an eater are you? (1=extremely and 10=not at all) If you had to eat a meal made entirely of one color what color would you choose?
I am a food snob nowadays because I want to know more about what I am eating. What is in it? Where was it grown? What has been sprayed on it. I read labels. I like to know where my meat comes from, I am really picky about that.
I would say I am a 3.
I will pick green. It would be a huge garden salad that came from our garden. I know what has been sprayed on it, NOTHING!!
4. What does balance in life mean to you? Does your life currently feel 'balanced'?
I had to chuckle, because this has been an issue I have been writing about in my journal. I like to have routine in my days. I feel I get more done that way and I feel more 'balanced'. Not all days go as planned and soon I feel like I am 'spinning' like I felt last week.
5. If you could travel the world for a year what would be your first destination?
It would be the UK!!
I have a love for the UK and I have blog buddies I would like to meet.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
They do not last long, but we soak in the beauty while they are in bloom.
Apple trees are in bloom here, too (we don't have any but I've seen them). So pretty! I enjoyed reading your answers and chuckled about your response to the first one. You probably did end up where you began, lol. I'll be able to eat some of the lettuce from our garden soon and can't wait! I'll bet your true, literal garden salads are amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - those trees (their blooms) are spectacular! We have a friend - Farmer Brad - a young man who has an organic farm. I love buying his strawberries because I know there is no pesticide PLUS they taste wonderful!! I imagine your salad would taste wonderful, too!!
ReplyDeleteThe trees and their blooms are so pretty! You would love all the gardens and green space and growing things to be found in the UK. Visiting the beautiful gardens there was one of my favorite things. I hope you get there one day.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love when the crab apple trees let loose of their "confetti". It is so beautiful in the wind and also when it covers the ground. I am so happy you have those trees to see that beauty. I love the UK too and have bloggers that I would love to meet. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteI agree about having routines and getting more done. I hate when I get scatter-brained and bounce all over the place. Love the apple blossoms! Beautiful plus they smell good!
ReplyDeleteThose trees are so beautiful! I wish the blooms lasted longer!
ReplyDeleteGetting back to a routine is such a help with balance! I think that's why I always enjoyed Fall and the back to school days after carefree summers. Ha...chuckling about the adjustment on your seat. Okay lets meet up in the UK for our year long adventure!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny about your car seat. Yes, honesty is a must! I think it is nice that you are a good snob. I picked green too. Sorry about your spinning last week. Wishing you balance. I agree with the UK. The blossoms are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your pink and white blossoms! Oh, how pretty they are. 🤍🩷🌸🩷🤍
ReplyDeleteYou made me giggle about moving your car seat.
Right now, I am out of balance and spinning too because my routine is all out of whack. We just made it back to our summer home, and getting settled takes a long while. The gardens take much of my time because of the weeds. I wish the garden fairies would use their wand and make the weeds disappear!
The UK is quite charming especially their gardens. But if I have to choose I would have to say I have fallen in love with Spain. I have been there a few times and I love it more and more with each visit.
Have a blessed week my friend.
I'm with you....take me to the UK!! That was my answer as well. And I have to agree, I am a bit of food snob these days. Quite a bit of a snob - lol! Oh, and thanks for the good laugh over the car seat!! Love it -
ReplyDeleteYour photos are absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThat did make me chuckle about your car seat. I always do that in my dad's car.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever visit the UK you are welcome here to visit my town, not that it's that exciting. lol
The trees are so pretty, all the blossom has just about gone from the ones near me.
Oh those car seats! We have ours programmed with our perfect seat settings, but somehow, every time I get in the car I have to rearrange! Haha! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. My husband says I'm like the princess and the pea with that seat. If it's not just right, I just can't get comfy.
ReplyDeleteCarla...how gorgeous these trees are...and so full of blooms.. I laughed at your car seat ordeal...same here. I try to set the thing and somehow, it never works. I'm always moving it up or down and getting no where. Like you, I would love to visit the UK...such good blogging friends.. Oh goodness...how Sam's illness has really made us both pay attention to the foods we are eating...I may even stress a little too much about this, but I do know that the chemicals and all else is really harming people. I was not able to do the hodgepodge this week due to appointments, but I always enjoy reading ..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I'd say I like my routine more and more the older I get. It makes me feel grounded and happy.
ReplyDeleteThe trees looks so pretty when they are in bloom, it's just such a shame it doesn't last long. I had to laugh at the vision of you moving your car seat back to square 1. Yes come to the UK and look me up.
ReplyDeleteWow, the blossoms are stunning! :D I feel terribly imbalanced of late...something I definitely need to work on myself. If you coma across something inspiring, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThe apple blossoms are gorgeous!! I love apple and cherry blossoms and miss having them around.
ReplyDeleteThat's a little different way of looking at picky eating. I'm also getting pickier in the way you described, but I must admit I'm rather lazy about following through and checking everything.
Hope you're having a great week!
Late to commenting. I enjoyed your answers. Oh, the UK would be fun to visit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Gorgeous pink blooms! I'm like that with my car seat too. It's never "just right"!!
