Lion and Lamb

Welcome back to another Tuesday 4 in honor of Toni Taddeo it's founder.

They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.  

  March 29-31 are the "borrowing days" when weather is traditionally rough or stormy  and the month was named for Mars the god of war because March was the time for the start of wars.

1.  What brings out the lion in you? What brings out the lamb? 

Cruelty and hatefulness are lion worthy as is destruction of the land.  

  Animals and kind behavior are lamb worthy.  Following little Punch Kun right now makes me lamb like    Punch is a Japanese snow monkey rejected by his mother. The zoo staff gave him a little monley to cuddle and his 'people' give him extra love. 

 2. What are you enjoying in terms of TV, movies or right now?

I just found Suits and am watching some of that.  I am not reading anything right now and I am looking for a movie to watch. I think I would like to see Cruella.

3. It's Spring now... are you happy to see it come?  Will you be going out more?  Spring has never been a favorite season for me because the up and down weather makes my spine miserable.  But I have determined a few years ago to love whatever comes and find the good in it, so I deal with it best I can and enjoy the changes.

4.  Create an ideal weather scenario for each seson.. the perfect  weather for summer,spring, autumn and winter.

I think Spring should be rainy and windy with the start of the year's thunder storms.  It should be light jacket or sweater weather, not hot and not icy bundle up weather either.

In ideal Spring or Summer cranes and other pests would STAY OUT OF MY PONDS. Sheesh.. I live on the bay! 

The bay is  huge and they have the whole thing plus the salt marshes to fish in, why my back yard..those lazy little bums.

Summer should never have temperatures about 80°F and never have high humidity no matter what!!  Humid weather is the worst.  Summer nights should be down in the low 60's for relief from any heat of the day.  There should be a thunderstorm once a week all during summer with just the right amount of rain!  Lightning bug or fireflies should live all summer long in great abundance.  Lots of owls hooting in the forest here too.

Autumn must be chilly with temperatures no higher than the high 50°'sF.  although a few days of 60°'sF might be nice as well.   Leaves must turn brilliant neon colors.. their usual yellows, oranges, reds and golds.      Ideally my father would still be alive and we would go hiking and climbing in autumn. He would be still teaching me to find salamanders and to fish without a pole.   He would be standing in the sunlight as I  can remember him, his black hair shining blue in the sun and his dark brown eyes flashing with joyof being outside. That would be my perfect autumn.  There would still be football games on Thanksgiving Day at the high schools.(my old high school just had their last one this year. BOO HISS! A Pox upon them).

   At night winds would howl and rain would fall.  Days would be cool enough for light jackets, sweaters, scarves and an ever present cup of coffee or tea. Sudden gusts of cold air would send leaves swirling upwards.

 Winter would be cold with temperatures in the 40°s F in the day and 20-30s in the nights.   Snow would fall a few times a month.. not too much just a few inches.  Owls would call in the night from the forest.  The vixens (female fox) would scrrech.. its a eery sound but one I like to hear

Hey, welcome. Nice to see you.

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

This week's Sunday source is Minnesota Mom, who loves baking (especially cookies). She stole this meme from Esther, whose blog is no longer available, so the trail has gone cold.

These questions require just a yes or no, but you can answer at length if you're in the mood. The choice is yours! 

Have You Ever ...

1) Skipped school?    No. I always went to school.  The only time I skipped was when I was sick at home.

2) Lettered in a school sport?  We didn't have varsity sports for girls when i was in school.  I did win trophies and medals for running.  

 

3) Made a prank phone call?   Tons of them! I don't think you can do that today and when I was little and we visted my aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania they still had the operator when you picked up the phone.. "Number please", so you couldn't make them there for sure.  

 

4) Paid for a meal with coins? Yes, of course because when I was young you could still get a meal for 75¢ or under a dollar anyway. Now, not a big restaurant meal but at the counter in a Woolworth's  or a corner store you could get a little sandwich and a drink for cheap.

Imagine the number of coins you would need today?   

5) Laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose?  Nope, never came out my hose but I did get  a burning sensation from Coca Cola in my sinus from it not going down right.
