Hodgepodge No 2 for 2026

 


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

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/01/hodgepodge-questions-volume-636.html

What kind of winter person are you-snow lover, fireplace snuggler, winter adventurer, or indoor hibernator? Elaborate. 

I am a stay inside and do what I do most days

The Pantone colour of the year is cloud dancer, described as a gentle, billowy off white shade. The colour symbolizes 'peace, clarity, quiet reflection, renewal, and a soft reset'. Of the terms just listed which do you need most in your life this winter? 

Peace and quiet

Every cloud has a silver liningon cloud ninehead in the cloudsstorm clouds gathering, or cloud of suspicion...which 'cloud' idiom do you most relate to currently? Explain. 

After much thought I have decided it’s storm clouds due to the tension I have felt in the family.

coconut, cauliflower, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, onions, ranch dressing...of the white foods listed, which would be the hardest for you to give up? Do you like all or any of the foods on the list? 

Mayonnaise, I can not look at cauliflower without feeling ill, due to childhood drama.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson is credited with this quote-

"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year." 

Agree or disagree? Tell us why. 

I get what he was saying and maybe he is right, but I am not sure if I agree or not

Insert your own random thought here. 

This week’s rando thought is a poem I came across about Parkinson’s Disease.

In the hush of dawn, the hands may shake,

A gentle tremor, a subtle quake.

Steps falter softly on the morning floor,

A journey begun, not as before.

Words may stumble, voices sometimes low,

Yet courage lingers where shadows grow.

The mind remembers, though time may haze,

The laughter and love of younger days.

There’s hope in science, and hope in friends,

A will that bends but never ends.

Though Parkinson’s whispers and tries to confine,

The heart beats steady—brave, and fine.
