Marching Out of the Hodgepodge

 
Joyce asks the questions, and we provide the answers. See how others answered at From This Side of the Pond.

1. March is rolling on out of here. Sum up your March in ten words or less. 

Busy, spiritual, snowy, warm

2. Are you afraid of heights? When was the last time you found yourself dealing with a height, and did it make you nervous?

I'm afraid of heights to a certain degree. I don't care to climb ladders, but I can walk fairly close to a cliff...but not too close. I guess you could say I have a healthy fear of heights!

Last October, I had to ride this to get to the top in Fira, Santorini:

But the views were so worth it!

And these little ones were the welcoming committee when it was time to go back to the ship:

3. What's a word you struggle to spell on a regular basis, and sometimes need to double check before writing it down? Use the word in a sentence that tells us something about your April calendar. 

I'm drawing a total blank on this one. 

4. Love 'em or hate 'em, with Easter comes the sweet treat known as Peeps. So... do you love 'em or hate 'em? Speaking of peeps, what's your favorite way to have chicken? 

Not crazy about the Peeps...they're just too sweet and make my head hurt! I like to have chicken grilled or in a salad.

5. This week's Hodgepodge lands on the first day of April, which happens to be National Poetry Month. Do you like poetry?  Share a favorite line or two from one of your favorite poems. What makes this one a favorite? 

There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met yet. ----W.B. Yeats

I had no idea that was attributed to Yeats, but I agree!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Well...it looks like spring is here to stay, at least for a little bit. I'm refusing to turn on the air conditioning yet; I'm getting a nice breeze with the windows open. The bad thing is that I live on a main road, so there is quite a bit of noise. Thankfully, it's during the day and I'm spending that time on the back porch so I'm not noticing it at all!

1 quick question for those of you who use Blogger: Are you having trouble with scheduling posts, but the posts not publishing? This has been going on for a few weeks, and I'm stumped!

  1. I haven't had trouble scheduling posts, but adding pictures has been a problem for me. I have to do an annoying workaround for some reason. I'm sure it's related to settings on my computer but I will need my daughter to figure it out lol. I don't think I knew that was Yeats either. Happy Easter to you!

    1. I need to take some time and do some investigating. I may have inadvertently changed the time zone! Happy Easter to you, too!

  2. No spring here in New Hampshire yet ... our snow is still hanging on, though it's on its way out. I use Blogger and frequently schedule posts. I haven't noticed any of them not publishing (at least not yet, though I suppose it could happen). --Mrs. T from Across my Kitchen Table

    1. I have a friend in NH and it's crazy how late it snows there! Thanks for answering the question about scheduling. I'll have to take some time and do some thorough investigating!

  3. I feel the same about heights, a healthy fear. I would say no to riding the cable car but the views are amazing.
    Your weather sounds lovely. It's bright here but still chilly.
    I use blogger and have had no trouble with scheduling posts and them posting, now I've said it watch the issue start. lol

    1. The car wasn't bad, but I should have been facing the front. :) Thanks for answering about the scheduling issue I'm having. I may have done something in the settings for the time zone. I need to check that out.

  4. I enjoyed your answers. Santorini looks stunning in those photos. I use blogger but it's been awhile since I've scheduled a post so not sure if I'm experiencing the same thing. I'll have to try it and see.

  5. Your March sounded pretty good except for the snow. Yes, that looks kind of scary but the view is beautiful. The grilled chicken sounds delicious. That's an interesting poem. We haven't turned on our air conditioners yet but it's mainly because we fear that they won't work. It's been 20 years now. I am not having trouble with posting but my comments often arrived in bunches. Have a lovely Easter.
