I rather like March, it is the first hint that just maybe there is something outside of summer to look forward to. April is the month that is most likely to deliver on this promise.

The crap that has gone on this week I am blaming on real estate agents, they just bring bad luck and ill famed tidings.

I must admit that my view of seasonal time is very entrenchedly northern hemisphere (and solidly temperate zone!), so feel free to substitute September and October for March and April. Your milage may vary.

March I don't dislike as much as the months it's sandwiched between, it's just a gauntlet of obstacles to get through. There's no real malice involved. April, on the other hand, totally has a hit on out me.

Indeed!!! That is very spiffy and puts my hatting efforts in a bit of perspective. Although . . . I gotta say . . . it's reminiscent of the folding tissue paper pompoms that used to decorate supermarket ceilings.

Haha, I forgive those pompom things when they're in penguin or top hat form. Penguin AND top hat forms together, even.
