A Fall Wednesday Hodgepodge

Thank you for joining in for this Wednesday Hodgepodge all about FALL!

In the south, we love to be able to say, "It's Fall Ya'll!"

Thank you Joyce for keeping us going and all the answers can be found at her blog

From This Side of the Pond

1. It's fall y'all. What's something you love about this season and also something you don't? 

I love the crisp temperatures of Fall; the early morning breezes; frequent rain showers; the wardrobe change; the time change; etc.

There is absolutely nothing that I don't love about Fall.

2. When you think of the colors of fall, which one is your favorite?

I love the reds, oranges, browns and deep purples of the Fall colors.  I think its safe to say I love all the Autumn colors.

Is there somewhere you could easily day trip to see the leaves in all their glory? 

Actually, my neighbor across the street has two Bradford Pear trees in her front yard.  They always have the most amazing display of colorful leaves.  But, if we wanted to take a road trip to see an expanse, we would drive up into Arkansas.

Will you? 

No, we have other plans for seeing the fall leaves this year and I'll talk more about that later.

3. What's one thing you've let 'fall' by the wayside during this season of staying home and staying away? 

I know this may sound strange, but I can't think of a single thing that I've let fall by the wayside due to the quarantine.  We have tried to keep our lives as normal and positive as possible.  We have both tried to be productive and have not allowed this time to change our routines or habits in a negative way.

4. If you're wearing a sweater is it most likely a cardigan, crew neck, V-neck, or zip up hoodie? 

Oh I love sweaters.  You will find in my closet and sweater drawers, turtle necks, some V-necks, a few cardigans, but most will have a slight round neckline.  There is not one single zip up hoodie in my wardrobe.

5. What's your secret to dealing with change? 

If I had a secret I think it would be that change does not control me.  To be honest, I have to first rationalize a change.  It has to make sense to me and if it seems unnecessary or frivolous, I tend to resist it.  However, if that change brings what I deem as needed, necessary, or even pleasant alterations, then I embrace it.  Basically, my independent spirit demands that I control my own circumstances as much as possible and not allow any change to control me.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

This beautiful rainbow was captured over our church a couple weeks ago.  Is it not the most beautiful picture of God's promise?
