1. Many of our earliest presidents created words or expressions widely used today. Teddy Roosevelt is credited with mollycoddle, pack rat, frazzle, and loose cannon...which of those words/phrases currently relates to your life in some way?
Loose cannon!!! I don't want to go into detail about the 'white elephant'
2. Have you visited many (or any) of the US Presidents homes, monuments, libraries or related sites? If so what's been your favorite? Are there any you particularly want to see? Here's a link to presidential sites listed by state which is kind of fun to read-Presidential Places by State. And since several bloggers who participate in the HP each week live outside the US, here's a link to Presidential Places Outside the US. Have you seen any of those?
My favorite is still Mount Vernon but a close second is John F. Kennedy's gravesite.
3. February 20th is National Cherry Pie Day...will you celebrate? Given your choice of cherry pie, cherry cobbler, cheesecake with a cherry topping, or black forest cake which would you choose?
I am not really a cheery kinda gal. I would have to go with cheesecake with cherry topping, but would secretly take the cherry topping off lol
4. Last time you worked a puzzle of some kind? Something that had you puzzled recently?
Last week with the grands. I am not a puzzle gal, but the grands, especially the oldest one, IS!
People have me puzzled. I just don't understand how one minute a person cares and the next...poof!! This is so hurtful to others. If you don't like someone or if you don't want a relationship then tell that person, don't let it drag on for a year and then tell someone you all aren't compatible!! This makes me so angry!
5. Of the early blooming flowers (January-early March depending on your zone) which one's your favorite?
snowdrops, lenten roses, pansies, violets, snapdragons, reticulated iris, crocus, winter jasmine
Do you have any of these in your own yard/garden?
Pansies are my favorite. None of these are in my yard or garden.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
This weather, ya'll it has been a hard winter for me!! Now, I really don't mind to see a beautiful snowfall but too much snow is getting to me. I never really learned to drive in the snow because schools were closed and I never had to get out in the mess. So, here lately I have been kinda stuck. After the snow, this past weekend was a flood!! The rain was pelting down and the rivers and creeks were spilling over. Many people were evacuated. Then Sunday night, I thought my house was going to blow away. The wind was howling. We had another virtual day of learning on Monday. I think we have missed 20 days of school so far. AND more snow, sleet, and rain is headed out way Tuesday -Wednesday. I am so ready for some warmer weather!!!
Ya'll stay safe and Enjoy Life!
The flooding was awful, and in an area hit by Helene too. I'm with you on being ready for some warmer weather. I remind myself we still have a whole month of winter. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely time for winter to disappear! I think I have been patient long enough:) And yes to pansies. I am so ready to full some pots with pansies for my porch!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers. Here where I am in my area of the PNW we haven't seen much "winter" except for rain. I wouldn't mind a bit of snow. We had a little bit for 2 days but I was still able to make it into work. I want to be stuck at home for a few days..lol.
