It's Time for a Hodgepodge!

 

I am joining up with Joyce and friends for this week’s hodgepodge!

1. What most recently gave you goosebumps? Hmmm . . .I don't know. Are we talking goosebumps from fright? If so, I can't think of an answer to this question!

2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate? Yes, we participate. We have about 1200 trick-or-treaters. We decorate our front porch using our three skeletons. The skeletons are fishing this year. Our neighborhood is quite fun on Halloween night.

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 just bought some chia seeds this afternoon to add to my yogurt. I love pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I make an Asian slaw with sunflower kernels, almonds, toasted ramen noodles, cabbage, and more. 

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


You may not be able to tell it . . .
but this skeleton is very shiny - as in
bling! This photo was taken about
a week ago in The Covent Garden district
of the West End in London.

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? I think the title would be either "It went by in a flash" or "Go! Lisa! Go!"

6. Insert your own random thought here. I am typing this on Tuesday night while I wait for the young adults to arrive at our house. Mark and I flew in last night after 12 days abroad. We had a great time, and I will write all about it as soon as I recover haha! I'll share a fun photo from Ireland . . .

  5. Hi Lisa, my name is Delisa, and i am a new follower, and I like all your Hodge Podge questions and your pics! I am 63 years old and have been married to my husband for 37 years. We have lived in rural Georgia, for 20 years but were originally from California. I just began writing on my blog again this month after some time away. I am really enjoying it as well as meeting new blogging friends. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts and I hope you have a lovely afternoon ahead! :)

  9. Welcome home! I love most any seed too and often put chia in my yogurt or even sprinkled on my salads. Your slaw recipe sounds yummy.
