Chatting on the porch

I can't believe it's wednesday already!  I know, I know.  Time does fly but sometimes it just whizzes by!  This week seemed so laid-back and time just seemed irrelevant.  Guess not.

Come on down the road...join us on Patrice's front porch for a bit of conversation now that the kids have truly headed off to school.   Today's questions are guaranteed to start the gray cells percolating...

1.  If you could bring someone to Patrice's porch to join in on our chat, who would you bring?  That's such a tough one to answer.  Part of the reason I like hanging out on the porch is that I meet and chat with folks I don't see everyday.  So, I'm going to dream.  If I could, I'd bring my Mom.  She's been gone for almost 30 years but I think she'd enjoy meeting everyone.  I think she'd enjoy what she called  a 'natter' while sitting in the shade.  

2. What's your favorite thing to make when fall rolls around? (Can be food, or maybe a craft.) Now this one's real easy.  Soup.  Glorious soup.  Lots of soup.  Preferably some kind of vegetable - hold the meat and cream - and as many as possible. Fresh veg are best but as the season goes on, it's whatever I find in the fridge or freezer.  Yum!  Can't wait. 

3.  How many times a month do you go to a library or bookstore?  I'm somewhat erratic with the library.  It can be twice a week or twice a month depending on the choices I've made.  I don't really buy new books but I do put my toe through the door of our local store every now and then.  I also poke around in the used book store at least once a month. 

4.  What things make blogs the best?   That's a lot more complicated than it sounds.  And maybe easier to answer the other way around.  But I'll stay positive.  I am drawn to blog writers who are passionate about their subject - whatever it is.  I might not have the same passion but I can enjoy theirs.  Photos  are added value but I prefer a few rather than a lot.  I always want the story behind the photos so I guess it's the writing I crave.  Words.  It's always about the words. 

5.  If someone would pay for you to take a class (any class- college-private-online-at a craft store-the sky's the limit here, my friends), what class would you take?   Oh, another toughie.  There's so much to learn - and all of it fun.  But, since the sky's the limit I think I'd have to choose flying lessons.  I have just the teensiest fear of flying.  I'm pretty sure it's a control issue.  That,  plus I don't actually believe that planes can stay up in the air LOL  - kind of like bumblebees.  It works but I don't see how.  So, maybe if I learned how to make it happen I'd become a believer.  Thanks for the offer!

If you want to meet some new people, drop in at Everyday Rurality.  I think we'll be here a while.  It's such a lovely day...sunny and peaceful.
