In Like A Lion


Well, I guess we can all say that March really did
come in like a lion!  Our barometer agreed that we would
have snow and very cold weather and that we did!

And that means that March will go out like a lamb.
Even I will be ready for spring by then! ha.

I work an auction Tuesday.
We'll be on site, so it will be cold!
We've already been told to wear layers.
I think I'll have some Hot Hands stuck in my boots!
This morning it was 1F degree (-17C) and
tomorrow is supposed to be the same!  Brr!

  1. What kind of barometer is that? Mine just has a boring dial like a clock!
    And I'm so pleased to see the photo and quote I sent you on your sidebar. It just suits you so well!
    Stay warm tomorrow! Take extra Hot Hands for your admirer gentleman. (smiles)

    Goodnight, Sunshine. I ready for the Land of Nod.

      Don't tell your not so secret admirer! He might get jealous ROFL.
      I've been busy transferring music from LPs to Audio CDs. The Magic Flute by Mozart. Know it? It is in German and I don't understand that but I have the libretto in German and English so I have been writing up the story - very involved and fascinating.
      Keeps me out of trouble - for a while lol
      Hope to post something soon - that Mickey story I told you about.

      looking forward to the story of Mickey. :) He's going to have his own series before long!

    1. Did you know that if you say 'asparagus' into a tape recorder and play it backwards the word 'cigarette' is heard and if you say 'cigarette' into a tape recorder and play it backwards you hear . . . . . . yes . . . . . 'asparagus' lol
      Full of very 'useful' knowledge aren't I? lol

    2. lol...no, I never knew that .....etteragic. Ha! That's hilarious.

    3. Ah I see . . . . . but from an audible viewpoint it has apparently to be asparagus.
      Poor Linda will think I'm nuts if she doesn't know it already!

    4. Oh yeah...it sounds just like it! How did you know that, anyway?

    5. Do you know Jim Suldog at http://jimsuldog.blogspot.co.uk/
      A rather eccentric blogging buddy.
      He can be quite hilarious but sometimes a bit outrageous but likeable,
      He used to be a recording engineer and now writes for a Boston newspaper.
      I learned it from him about 2 years ago.

    6. I have never been to his blog, but the name looks a little familiar. Maybe I've seen him on your blog. Well, it's a fun little bit of trivia, anyway. Very fun!

    7. Yes....Eddie Bluelights....I already knew! Hahaha!
      Yes Betsy.....asparagus is a great deal right now...plan on having A LOT!

    8. Oh Linda, at first I thought you knew already about cigarettes and asparagus - but I see what you really mean is you already knew I am nuts lol. How disappointing LOL

    9. Betsy, you may have heard of Suldog (Jim) through me or John-Michael. He and John-Michael were close. Small world, this blog world! I enjoy Jim's writing very much.

    10. You may be right! It's been quiet a while since I've seen the name...

    1. Who knew Ohio could be so cold!
      With my arthritis, it's making me feel old!
      Find that fountain of youth
      and we can live in Ecuador where the waves are smooth.
      Could have a bloggers condo
      that would be hilarious, you know.

    2. hahaha that would be grand
      A condo for blog land
      And yeah the cold does suck
      When ones body gets as stiff as a puck

    I love your barometer. I think some extra hot hands are definitely in order.

    1. We didn't get all the fury we were supposed to, either. Only 3 inches instead of 13.
      But it sure is cold! Yep...I've already laid out the hot hands so I don't forget them!
