In like a Lamb Out like a Lion????

I woke up to ice this morning. Falling from the sky.

The actual saying is: In like a lion, out like a lamb. Some years that works out, others not so much.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of March was bad (roaring, like a roaring lion), the month should end with good weather (gentle, like a lamb).

I like how it says ’Freezing Rain possible’ as ice was hitting my window

But it does seem to have paused. I guess the best word for this moment is dreich as I described in this post here.

So this has become a Writing Day staying dry, warm, and hopeful. On my window sill sits a harbinger of spring, the perfume of which takes me to fields of flowers, rustling trees, chirping birds…well you get the idea.

Hyacinth waiting to go outside – weather permitting of course.

So from North of 43 I wish you a pleasant day regardless of weather!
