Always great to join everyone for Hodgepodge! Would you like to participate? Just answer the questions on your own blog and link up by clicking on the button.
1. What are two or three expectations you have of yourself? To take care of myself...mind, body, and spirit; to be the best mom and wife I can possibly be; to be an honest and loyal friend.
2. In what ways does your outdoor space need sprucing up this spring? Chris and I have been working in our backyard quite a lot lately, so we now have it looking pretty good...
The only thing I can say could use some sprucing up is our front gardens. As soon as the weather starts staying consistently warm, I plan to plant lots of flowers and some shrubs.
3. According to this site (Roadtrippers), six of North America's most wondrous waterfalls are: Webster's Falls in Ontario, Upper Whitewater Falls in North Carolina, Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, Multnomah Falls in Oregon, The Lower Yellowstone Falls, and Niagara. Have you seen any on the list? Which one on the list would you most like to visit? Prettiest waterfall not on the list you've seen in person? Unfortunately, I have not visited any of the waterfalls listed. Of the choices, I'd probably most like to visit the Upper Whitewater Falls in North Carolina just because they're the closest in proximity to where I live. One of the prettiest waterfalls I've even seen was in North Carolina, around the town of Franklin. I can't recall the name of it, but you can walk underneath it. Just spectacular...
4. Looking back, what's something you wish you'd done as a teenager? I wish I'd taken up running. I went to a school that was small and didn't offer cross country or track, but I think I would have enjoyed them. Also, I wish I hadn't wasted two years in high school being in a relationship with one guy.
5. Ham-yes, please or no, thank you? If you said, yes, please, which of the following do you like best-baked ham with all the trimmings, a ham and cheese sandwich, prosciutto with melon, a ham biscuit, a bowl of split pea and ham soup, or a slice of pizza topped with ham and pineapple? I'm not a big fan of ham, anymore. If I were to choose, I'd go with a ham biscuit.
6. Are you typical of your generation? How so? That's a tough question. I think I have concerns about the future of my children and our country, like most people my age. However, I tend to think that I act younger than many of my contemporaries in that I like to act silly and goof around. I'll probably never really "grow up".
7. April rolls in at the end of the week, and in keeping with that theme...'act the fool', 'nobody's fool', 'a fool's errand', 'could have fooled me'...which foolish idiom most recently applies to you? Explain. I'm going with 'nobody's fool' simply because my girls can attest to the fact that I know how to peel away the layers, if you will, to get to the very heart of the matter. There's no pulling the wool over this momma's eyes.
8. Insert your own random thought here. I am so ready for this pollen to be GONE! Everything is completely covered in yellow. The total pollen count yesterday was a whopping 4107, which is extremely high.
Is pollen a huge problem in your area?

great answers.
That waterfall is beautiful!
And yikes, pollen is an issue around here, but it won't be THAT bad for another month...
I was the same kind of Momma when my girls were younger. Teenage years are the toughest. Have a great week, April.
The pollen is insane here too. I've been taking Allegra year round, and I think it's really helped. Your yard is so pretty! Love that view!
Really bad pollen here too and gusty winds spreading it all over the place. Your yard is stunning! I wish, I wish ... The waterfall is cool too. I like North Carolina and maybe I will see that waterfall one day.
And I too am concerned for the next generation. But trying to be positive. I know God is in control.
I am with you girl on the pollen front! I have been sniffing and scratching all week! It looks like you ad your husband have green fingers...you're welcome to pop over the pond and spruce my garden up ):
That waterfall looks beautiful, so does your backyard. Have a great rest of the week :)
I don't even know how I would find the pollen count in my area, but I am suffering from it too. And your yard looks beautiful!

Your yard looks lovely. I totally understand about peeling back the layers. I think we would make great detectives! I am so surprised to hear about that pollen. I had no idea that it got that bad.
I would like to see the waterfall in your photo! Maybe someday.
Yes, pollen is terrible here in FL. If you read my blog, I rant about the Live Oak trees in answer to #2. Enjoyed your Hodgepodge April!!
You have a lovely view!! I'm looking forward to getting out and sprucing up the yard too, I like lots of flowers!
Your yard is beautiful. That's a fantastic view!
Yes, pollen is awful here, too. Everything is covered in it.

Your yard is so pretty and I can hardly wait for our landscape to go in. We're expecting more rain, like lots more, tonight, so who knows when it will get done. Ugh!
What a beautiful property you have!
We don't have much in the way of pollen yet. I have no doubt it's coming, though.
No pollen here in western NY yet, I am sure there will be at some point and time. Enjoyed your answers, thank you for your kind comments on my blog.
I am going to have to visit that waterfall! I am officially adding it to my bucket list. :) Your yard is beautiful. The pollen and allergies have been relentless around here in the Dallas area. If the wind would stop blowing, it would help. Have a super, awesome week!
Your yard looks lovely! And, the pollen here is done. Finally! We had a good rain the other day that washed it away. Next: those bitey May flies! It's always something!! ha! But, I love this time of year.
Oooo....your waterfall picture is so pretty! Happy belated hodgepodge!
Your yard looks lovely. Hope the pollen is easing up now.
