A Spring Hodgepodge in Autumn

 

Hi all here I am taking part in 2026 hodgepodge Q & A the questions can be found here:

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-646.html

It’s officially spring in the northern hemisphere. Does it feel like spring in your part of the world? If you're in the southern hemisphere it's officially autumn where you live. Does the weather say autumn? Which do you prefer-spring or autumn? Why? 

Well since I have had the air con going on many days  I would say nope doesn’t feel like autumn yet.

 What's your favorite thing about spring? 

Wearing not winter clothes not necessarily summer clothes just not winter clothes

Spring into action, spring in your step, spring to life, spring to one's feet...which spring idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain.  

Spring in my step, as I don’t feel the need to wear shoes as   often.

Which spring food from this list is your favorite? What's a dish you like that includes your favorite spring ingredient? 

Can’t think of anything

What's one task on your spring-cleaning list? Do you actually have a list? ‘

Nope no list and honestly not one for spring cleaning

 Insert your own random thought here. 

Autumn is the season that teaches us how beautiful it can be to let things go and Spring is the quiet promise that life can begin again.

Tuesday 4

 

Welcome once again to  Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 

Here are this week's questions

Welcome back to another Tuesday 4 in honour of Toni Taddeo it's founder.

They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.  

March 29-31 are the "borrowing days" when weather is traditionally rough or stormy and the month was named for Mars the god of war because March was the time for the start of wars.

What brings out the lion in you? What brings out the lamb?

The lion comes out when I feel protective of my family, being around people I don’t know turns me into a lamb.

What are you enjoying in terms of TV, movies or books right now?

Listening to Dawn French book The Twat Files, so funny, haven’t seen a movie in years and don’t watch much on TV either. I do like Tipping Point Australia and Outback Truckers and have a season of Call the Midwife recorded but have to be in the right mood to watch.

It's Spring now... are you happy to see it come?  Will you be going out more?

Here it is Autumn and I am looking forward to cooler weather

Create an ideal weather scenario for each season, the perfect weather for summer, spring, autumn and winter.

I am drawing a blank cannot think of a damn thing so I am skipping this question.

This week her question

Do you look back or forward? 
How do you see your past and your future? Do you worry about the future, given the atmosphere created by the current American government?

Forward, not back I live in the here and now and don’t think much about what might happen. I am concerned about what the future may hold when it comes to this damn war an orange started as I do not want to see people being sent off to fight and possible die.

 

Friendly fill-ins

 

Each Thursday Ellen of 15andmeowing and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs, provide Friendly Fill-in questions.

2. I am so tired of waiting for _____________________.
3. I can’t believe I still remember _________.
4. I wish I could go back and experience _________ for the first time again

My answers

I had to think about this question trying to remember when it would had been and I think it would have been back in 2015 after a bad storm, I think we were without power for a couple of days.

After thinking about this I decided that the answer is nothing I am not waiting for anything.

Random stuff that comes to mind from time to time like things that happened when I was a child.

My wedding day, if I could do it again I wouldn’t be so nervous and think I would enjoy myself more.
