A Flowery Hodgepodge

 

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? 

Reading those words, it’s frazzle without a doubt

Have you visited many (or any) of the US Presidents homes, monuments, libraries or related sites? If so what's been your favourite? 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? 

Being an Aussie living in Australia I have not visit anu Presidential Places and never will.

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? 

Well, I have never heard of National Cherry Pie Day but then I am in Australia, and it is not a think here, that said I do like cheesecake with a cherry topping

Last time you worked a puzzle of some kind? Something that had you puzzled recently? 

I do a jigsaw on my tablet each day as well as a few other word puzzles.

Of the early blooming flowers (January-early March depending on your zone) which one's your favourite? 

snowdrops, lenten roses, pansies, violets, snapdragons, reticulated iris, crocus, winter jasmine

Do you have any of these in your own yard/garden? 

Out of that list I would pick violets and nope none growing in my garden.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Flowers bring so much joy into the lives of so many people but why is that well it is because seeing or receiving flowers triggers the flow of a chemical to the brain called serotonin. Serotonin (sometimes called the ``happy'' hormone) communicates messages from the brain throughout our bodies and plays a vital role in many body functions including mood and physical well-being.
