Happy Wednesday, friends, and happy October! I'm here with Joyce again today for the weekly hodgepodge...this is a post that I dearly love; thank you, Joyce, for your inspiring and thought provoking questions each and every week! I'll jump right in.
1. What's your favorite fall scent? Would we find this in or around your home right now? Without a doubt, I always lean towards a scent that smells like something baking in the fall. Anything that is maple, pumpkin, or cinnamon scented will always my go to at this time of year. You would definitely find these scents in my home right now!
2. October is country music month...are you a fan of country music? Do you have a favorite country artist? Ever been to Nashville? In terms of lifestyle, are you more city mouse or country mouse? I love country music; it's what I listen to the most right now, honestly. I have lots of favorites: Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Darius Rucker, Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion, The Chicks, Kacey Musgraves...I could go on. I have been to Nashville many, many times in my life. I love both city and country, but I am definitely a city mouse.
These pictures above were from our first annual blogger's trip to Nashville in 2024! The adorable striped building is owned by Reese Witherspoon.
3. How about "country cooking"? Which of the following foods listed is your favorite? I love any and all country cooking! I love all the foods listed below, but my favorites are definitely biscuits and gravy and my Mom's fried chicken. It's to die for!
chicken and dumplings, fried chicken, shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, cornbread, collard or turnip greens, deviled eggs, barbecue, gumbo, banana pudding
The above is what a typical holiday spread at Mom's and Bill's looks like.
4. What's something that's always had a positive impact on your mood? I have a full proof method on the days when my mood sucks: I start writing a gratitude list.
5. As we say so long to September, share a noun, verb, and an adjective that tells us something about how that month looked for you.
a noun: transition
a verb: nestle
an adjective: golden
6. Insert your own random thought here. I stumbled across a song last night that just about took me out. It's one by Parker McCollum. I immediately sent it to Marilyn.
