Happy Strawberry Moon and it is the Hodgepodge!

 

Infused Strawberry Mint Water

 It is Strawberry season in Wisconsin.. Yum! And it is Wednesday, that means it is time for the Hodgepodge. Joyce asks the questions. We answer the questions. 

Click here to join the fun!

 


From this Side of the Pond


 1. What's something that reminds you of your grandmother? Tell us why. 

A candy jar. My grandma had a candy jar on her counter in the entry of her home. We always enjoyed a piece when we came in the door and took a few for the bike ride home. 

Instant coffee is another reminder. My grandma had a cup of instant coffee in the afternoons. I usually visited during the afternoons. I was blessed to have lived just a few miles down a country road from my grandma and grandpa. 

 
2. Is your life currently more 'moonlight and roses' or a little more 'every rose has it's thorn'? Elaborate.

My life is currently 'moonlight and roses' .. summer is in full swing in Wisconsin. We have enjoyed lovely evening walks, we already saw lighting bugs dancing in the farm fields, we are starting to enjoy fresh vegetables from the garden and we got to see our boys over the weekend.

3. June 23rd is National Pink Day...favorite thing you own in any shade of pink? My blog friend, Jenny the Pirate shared, Vaseline Lip Therapy ~ Rosy Lips , I recently started using it. It has become a favorite.  Favorite thing found in nature in any shade of pink? Wild roses  Your favorite pink food or beverage? Grapefruit  Your favorite shade of pink? Pink is my second favorite color.. I enjoy all the shades.

 4. Last thing that had you 'tickled pink'? 

We enjoyed a family gathering to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday. It 'tickled me pink' to see my family and my boys. 

 5. What are two or three words that describe your style. 

I asked my husband.. he answered.. homey, nature and simple.

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I will share a few of my favorite pink photos.

I planted morning glory in an old watering can I had. I am just loving how it is looking as the morning glory twist and climb.
