WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #372

Click here to join in Joyce's Hodgepodge!

1. Last thing you said yes to? Did you regret it?

I can't think of anything I said yes too recently. However I've been pretty good at saying no! I regret saying no to meeting a friend for a social distancing visit. 

2. No big deal, no contest, no dice, no hard feelings, no ifs ands or buts, no kidding, no offense, no pain no gain, no way...choose one and tell us how it applies to your life currently.

I'm going with no pain no gain. I'm mad for not pushing myself more to exercise. I was going strong before the virus, I've got my recumbent bike to use and I'm being way too lazy. 

However I have been pushing myself to accomplish something each day so right now all the rooms have been dusted and vacuumed. I hope to start dusting the blinds and continue to push myself to do something everyday. 

3. Thursday June 11th is National Making Life Beautiful Day...in this strange season how are you adding beauty to your days/life?


Our garden has been fun and it's getting me outside. Thank God we have our yard with a view. Look what I saw on Monday.....
This is the garden after one month! 

4. According to an article found here, these six foods taste better in June than at any other time of the year-strawberries, asparagus, peas, peaches, beets, and garlic. How many of these have you tasted so far this month? Anything on the list you'd say 'no thank you' to trying? Rearrange the list starting with your favorite (1) to your least favorite (6).

So far only strawberries from our garden. However I do like the other items, just not out shopping for them. We have had some nectarines. 

Asparagus, peaches, strawberries, beets, garlic and peas. 

5. Describe your current mood in three words.


I feel lost.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

I like your random thought.
I would have to go with No big deal since my schedule has been crazy since the virus thing started.

You have such a breathtaking view! How nice to have a garden and to have enjoyed strawberries. The last couple of months have been difficult; I try to get out and walk and also, walk around and enjoy the plants in our yard. Have a blessed day.

Gloria said...

Lovely garden.
I enjoyed your answers and pictures.
Have a good Wednesday.

I don't think there one single descriptive term I have not used regarding how I feel about your amazing backyard view, so I won't try. I am proud of your determination to get something done each day. It isn't easy. We learned this week that our gym will not be reopening, so I am going to have to exert more disciple than I feel right now to get up and do something challenging every morning. I'll keep you posted. We may need to be accountability buddies.

Beautiful view from your yard. Your garden looks great. So glad it gets you outside to tend to it. Some days I feel the same way. I just try to do the next thing and keep going. It isn't always easy.

MadSnapper said...

I am with you 100% on the I feel lost! I love all those Foods mentioned. Peaches and strawberries first! The one decision that I said yes to was more than a year ago when I said yes to being leader of the tops group and I've been trying to get out of it ever since talk about regrets

Nonnie said...

Your garden is lovely!!! I'm hopeful that we will soon be able to be around people without masks and gloves and fear. I'm hopeful this country will get itself turned around and realize we need to stop with all this negativity and hate.

I need to take a page from you, and start doing a little (housework) every day. Sadly, unless I know someone's coming over there's much neglected. Great meme you found!

betty said...

Great random thought! Good for you that you are pushing yourself to get a little done each day. Your garden is looking so good and I love the picture of the blimp!! Always fun to see them in the sky! Its hard not to feel lost these days with everything going on!

I'm sorry you feel lost Debby. These are trying times and I think many people struggle to focus and stay busy. Your garden looks great and I'm sure you'll enjoy goodies from there soon. Hugs to you xo

Julie said...

Impressive garden!

Just know you're not alone with the feeling lost. But like your quote says, One day at a time. We'll get through it.

Debby, it is so good to try to get something done each day. Things are so bewildering and out of our control. You have a lovely view and how fun to see the blimp! May the God of hope give you hope right now...

I feel lost is a comment I would agree with. It is such a strange world at the moment. Hopefully we can learn from it and come out with some different ideas of how to live. Hope you manage to get on the bike. I have been terribly lazy too, but I have been doing a lot of gardening and that is exercise!

Chatty Crone said...

Sometimes saying no to others is saying yes to yourself?
Your garden is beautiful and making your back yard beautiful!
So you are feeling lost - probably because of Covid. You will find yourself soon.
Love, sandie

I'm glad you are enjoying your garden. I went out and looked at Caleb's tomatoes last night. They were much taller than the last time and have blooms now.

That is fun to see a blimp!

Carla from The River said...

Hi Debby,
I do understand feeling lost. I have been feeling so sad for my boys, wondering what on earth our country will look like for them, how things have changed so fast and each day it seems something new comes at us.
Praying,
Carla

Vee said...

A lot of us are feeling lost or unsteady in these crazy times we're living through. I am glad that I can take it to The Lord. We all can.

Oh my! What an amazing view you have. I am living in a green cocoon here so never see mountains or even the sky.

Say YES next time. You'll be so glad that you did. 😊

I love all the foods on that list but don't think I've had peaches or peas yet in June. But it's early still.
