Nearly the midpoint of summer -- and it also happens to be time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge at From This Side of the Pond, where Joyce writes the questions and bloggers provide the answers! Here we go ...
1. The midpoint of summer (believe it or not) is August 7th. Describe a perfect summer day. Have you had one this year?
A perfect summer day: quiet time and coffee by the campfire; a long walk; a visit to some outdoor destination in our beautiful state; lunch at a picnic table by one of our amazing lakes; time spent cross-stitching on a dock or a screened porch; supper out at a treetop restaurant; an evening at our cottage with all the windows open.
No, I haven't had a summer day just like that this year. Parts of them.
2. What's one thing you wish you knew before starting high school?
Popularity is overrated.
3. What's something that bothers you if it's not done perfectly?
Honestly, I can't think of anything like that. Punctuation, maybe. Misplaced apostrophes really bother me.
4. What's the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? What's a trendy food you actually do enjoy and would say is definitely not overrated?
Oh, I don't know. I don't pay a lot of attention to food trends. Sushi (and yes, I know that's not new) doesn't intrigue me, but I know people who genuinely love it. One new-ish food that I actually do enjoy is maple bacon ice cream.
5. Wrapping it up this week with five fun this or thats...
dance like nobody's watching or sing like nobody's listening?
unlimited tacos or free pizza?
ten minutes late or ten minutes early?
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We've been playing tourist lately and taking some staycation days. Plus we did take 2 days away in Maine, Delightful!
There is the Wednesday Hodgepodge for this week!
I enjoyed your photos and your words.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about your answer regarding High School.

That summer day sounds so soul-filling and peaceful. Your answer to #2 is spot on! Maple bacon ice cream sounds delicious! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteYour perfect summer day sounds absolutely perfect! I've had parts of a perfect day but not a whole one this summer. I am happy with that.
ReplyDeleteMy girls go crazy about sushi and I just don't get the attraction. I love the sound of the maple bacon ice cream.
I'm not a big fan of maple except a small bit on a pancake. I don't know if I'd like it as an ice cream flavor but with the bacon it sounds intriguing. Glad you had a little getaway to a pretty place!
