Roaring In To The Hodgepodge

Welcome to March and to the weekly Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my post, then leave a comment for the blogger there before you. Here we go...

1.  As the saying goes, 'March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.' Did your March come in roaring or like some other animal? Every month carries with it certain feelings, which is why some people love and anticipate December and others dread it. How do you feel about the month of March? 

Sunday (March 1st) was a spectacular day weather wise, much more lamb than lion. I don't think we'll have any more true wintry weather here and that is a-ok with me. 

Next up-pollen season. And yes, it's a whole thing. 

How do I feel about March? It's long. And the pollen will begin to fall (I've already seen some on the deck) which is not my favorite. I would love a getaway somewhere warm and sunny in the month of March, but that's not happening this year. 

2. Where in your life are you a lion? Where are you a lamb? 

I think of being a lion as boldness, fearlessly defending family and beliefs,  chasing dreams and opportunities with focus and passion...that sort of thing. A lamb to me signifies gentleness, vulnerability, kindness.

So where am I a lion?  Standing firm in my faith. 

A lamb? Interacting with my children and grandchildren. 

3. The Hodgepodge lands on National Pound Cake day. Do you like pound cake? If so do you have a favorite flavor? 

I love pound cake, one of my favorites actually. I especially love a sour cream pound cake or my mama's chocolate pound cake.  She used to make one every December and even though we had approximately eight million cookies to choose from I still looked forward to that cake. 

Let's play this or that-

• pound cake or layer cake? pound cake
• pound cake or cheesecake? pound cake
• pound cake or angel food cake? hmmm... a tough one but I'm going with pound cake
• pound cake or brownie? brownie
• pound cake or pie? another almost impossible choice,  but I love pie so would probably choose that over pound cake 

4. What makes you feel childlike wonder right now? 

The sky...daytime and nighttime, sunshine and clouds, sunrise and sunset. I'm in awe of it all. 

5. What's one thing you need to add to your wardrobe to get ready for spring? If you're in the southern hemisphere, then answer for fall? 

I need a few things for spring. Some of the items on my list are-a new white sweater, a great pair of jeans,  a dress, shoes to wear with jeans, and some cute tops. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Today's first question reminded me I had a picture of my hubs with a lion from a work trip he took to South Africa a few years ago-

If this is the kind of lion the saying is referring to, then maybe our March did come in that way?
