Welcome back to this week's Hodgepodge. Episode 527, that is.
Thank you, Joyce!
Do you suppose these fallen leaves number more? Or less?

This week's Hodgepodge lands on National Clean Our Your Refrigerator Day. Is yours in need of a cleaning? Will you get that done today? How often do you tackle this particular chore?
I'm sure ours could benefit from a clean-out ..... but aside from checking expiration dates, I'm in no hurry.
Now retired, I'm able to more closely monitor what duplicates someone brings home 'just in case.'
November 15 is also National Philanthropy Day. Tell us about a charity (local or otherwise) you like to support when you're able.
A large part of my heart belongs to those individual and organizations who rescue and foster abandoned dogs and cats.
What in nature inspires you and why?
Oh wow, how to choose?
Even tho' our trees obscure much of the rising sun, my #1 favorite will always be sunrise. God's given us a zillionth second chance!
Close behind, the ocean -- particularly while out to sea on a stormy night.
What's something you own that makes you feel cozy?
By his own admission, this doesn't do anything for Tom -- but our faux fireplace makes my heart happy.
Who did you thank today? Who thanked you?
I hope I never fail to thank God for waking me up each morning!
Other than that, I like to regularly express thanks to everyone whose path I cross -- whether it's the UPS deliveryman, our server or the little guy who held the store's door open for me yesterday.
Perhaps it's my imagination, but it seems people are more apt to express thanks these days.
Insert your own random thought here.
Can you believe Thanksgiving's practically upon us?
I've still no idea what's going on the table or who all will be around it.
... but that hasn't stopped me from brewing pots-full of yummy comfort food.
Unfortunately, last night's potato soup missed the mark. Not because I didn't follow directions but figured "if a 10 minute boil is good, 30 should be better."
Granted, it's not quite as bad as my epic nut bread fail when the blender began to smoke and died .... but still.
Have you any holiday kitchen stories-gone-wrong to share?
Thank you so much for stopping by ...
I hope you'll come again!
Hugs, Myra
