HUMP DAY HOPS!

Ready to march into the Hodge Podge and do some Chattin' on the porch? Feel free to click on the links and join in the fun!

If you're here for Chats on the Farmhouse Porch only, then scroll down.

First up is WEDNESDAY HODGE PODGE from Joyce at From This Side of the Pond.  This meme is fun and sometimes even poses a challenge (read: she makes us use our noggins!).   

1. Did March come in like a lion or was it something less ferocious in your neck of the woods?Oh, is March here? I hadn't noticed since we never got any winter to speak of this year. Yes, I'm bitter.

2. Speaking of lions, which one's your film favorite...The Cowardly Lion (Wizard of Oz), Mufasa (The Lion King), Elsa (Born Free), or Alex (Madagascar)? You may notice I left Aslan off the list. Including him would have made this question way too easy for many of you. I've thought and thought and I don't really care that much for any of them. They've never been my favorite characters of their features...I guess it would be a toss up between the Cowardly Lion and Alex.

3. What's your favorite spot from which to view the sunrise or sunset? The beach. It's only five minutes from our house and the sunrises are always stunning. The sunset is amazing while overlooking Charleston harbor.

4. To what extent is knowledge power and to what extent is truth power? What's the difference? Knowledge is power in that it enables us to recognize truth. Truth is power because it enables us to stand strong and confident in our knowledge. 

5. What's something peculiar you've seen recently?My reflection while doing that evil 30 Day Shred. Wait, you said peculiar not scary...sorry...I might have noticed someone lying out in the sun in 50 degree weather. You people living in the great white north probably don't think that's peculiar though. There are people where I walk who think it's peculiar that I put Tucker in the jogging stroller I bought off Craigslist when he gets tired.

6. Bottled water...your thoughts? Certainly. As long as it is REALLY spring water. Years ago we had a little leak in our shower head so, until Hubs finally got around to replacing it, I put a hand towel over it. When Hubs replaced the thing -less than but close to 30 days later, the water had eaten away part of the towel. I'm not drinking anything that does that. Plus, I never trusted the head of our water company anyway. He dresses for work every day in khaki pants and self-importance. 

7. What's your strongest sense? I have heightened sense of all five senses. They are all equally ridiculously strong- I'm talking EXTREME people. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 

THE LOVELIES will be here next week at this time!!!! And of course I am happy dancing all over the place! The people at the grocery store just stared and stared! 

AND---LOOK what I knitted!!!!! Thanks to Stephanie at Hookin', Knittin' and Livin' for her inspiration and PATIENCE with my questions! Anyone notice anything odd about those adorable little shoes? Well? Look closely...

That's right. I knitted two adorable little shoes for a baby with TWO RIGHT FEET. I got so dang excited that I had actually accomplished this little feat (no pun intended) that I forgot to read the finishing directions for the LEFT shoe when completing the second shoe. So now I must knit two more adorable little shoes- both for LEFT feet! Sheesh.

Oh! And, NO, we don't have any announcements to make of a grandchild. But when we do finally get one of those, I'll have some cute little shoes ready! I may even attempt that sweater over at Stephanie's! 

Next up is a HUMP DAY HOP from Patrice at Everyday Ruralty called Chats on the farmhouse porch! Sometimes we get to visit with Wendell the wonder horse too!

This Week's Questions:

1. Tell me a fond memory of an elderly person? I honestly have a veritable plethora of these. If you really want to know, read this post or this one for some of the stories. I have been truly blessed with the elderly people in my life. Truly blessed!
2. What's your favorite flavor of jam or jelly? Grape. No! Apple. NO! Strawberry. Oh shoot! I love all those!
3. What goes through your mind when you drive by one of those whopping, huge houses that look like something in a magazine? Geez am I glad I don't have to pay the taxes on that thing.
4. What's your favorite way to relax?It all depends on my mood (as does everything else) but reading or walking or sitting in the plaid chair watching a movie or cooking or writing...
5. What's your favorite kind of pasta? PENNE! I LOVE it and I don't care how it's prepared!
