Welcome to this week's edition of the Wednesday Hodgepodge!

If you're playing along in the Hodgepodge today, add your link to the party and then
 go say hi to your neighbors.  Here are my answers-

1.  April showers bring May flowers or so the saying goes. Are you blooming where you're planted as we begin the month of May?
Everything is in full bloom, the trees are fully leafed out, the AAAHHCHOOING has begun
spring is my favorite time of year however, love all the smells

2.  On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no big deal, and 10 being full scale panic, rank your fear of spiders. 
10 I hate them all, a dead spider is the best to me

3. May is National Salad Month (who knew???)...besides lettuce, what are two must have ingredients in your favorite salad? 
Cucumbers & crutons

4.  I mentioned on my  blog last week that my Daughter1 will be moving to Washington State after she is married. Of the following sites in the Northwest, which would you most like to see in person-Crater Lake (Oregon), Seattle (Washington), Vancouver (British Columbia), San Juan Islands (Washington),  Mt Rainier (Washington), Oregon Coast (Oregon), Mt St Helen's ((Washington), or Olympic National Park (Washington)?
All of them but choosing one I would say Washington Mt Rainier

5.  This coming weekend marks the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby...when did you last race (literally or figuratively) to cross a finish line?
I am on a deadline most everyday,  the a-z challenge was my last
race to finish

7. Would you say you are more of a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner?
