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?
When I see someone being ill treated it brings out my inner lion. When I come across someone in need or distress it brings out the lamb in me. Also when I see love or kindness in action, it brings out the lamb in me.
2. What are you enjoying in terms of TV, movies or books right now?
Right now I'm enjoying books. I have a more than a few on loan and I'm a bit behind on my reading. I'm actually ahead in my reading goals for the year but I'm behind in terms of completing all the books I've borrowed before they become due. I just completed an excellent book called The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon.
I've been trying to find something 'good' to watch on television and YT but haven't been much interested in the usual things. I did catch the 3rd season of "Night Agent" on Netflix which I enjoyed. I also finished watching the Netflix series, "Tehran". I always enjoy spy movies and sometimes a spy series and I started watching this one before the current war with Iran. I'm waiting for the newest season of "Slow Horses" on Netflix but that won't be released until the Fall.
3. It's Spring now... are you happy to see it come? Will you be going out more?
March 20/26
It's officially spring and the weather is finally going to be sunny for a few days. This is what I've been waiting for and 'yes' I hope to get out more. I like going for strolls when the sun comes out but first I have to get over a bout of sickness.
4. Create an ideal weather scenario for each season.. the perfect weather for summer, spring, autumn and winter.
A perfect summer is sunny but not too hot and an occasional day of rain to keep everything nice, green and refreshed. This type of weather allows a person to enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities. Too much heat is not comfortable and can result in wildflowers.

A perfect spring starts the season with more rain and tapers off as the season progresses with more sunny days. It also features blossoming trees and early flowers like daffodils. Too much rain ruins the cherry blossoms.

A perfect winter where I live is no snow in the city but lots on the mountains. Hopefully there are not so many days of torrential rain or temperatures that dip too low.
January 2026
As you can see, it rains a lot here. I really don't mind rain at all. I just mind it when it is very heavy and sometimes when it rains for 2 weeks without sun. Growing older has made me less tolerant of our weather because I also get cold easier these days. Our weather is milder in winter months than it is in much of North America so I don't complain too loudly.

Oh, I guess I didn't realize that your winter was milder than most of North America, but I guess that is because you are so close to the ocean? I wish you could send us some of your rain. We are really getting into a more serious drought situation here, which is very unusual. We didn't get any hurricanes last year, which of course we were thankful not to get, but we actaully need them to replenish our water supplies...so maybe a "little hurricane" wouldn't be too bad, as long as it didn't do any damage. (that wouldn't really be a hurricane, however, but just a tropical storm). Anyway, yes, we need the perfect balance of sun, rain, warm and cold to make things grow properly and replenish the earth. God knows what is best for each region of the earth, but sometimes weather patterns shift for a season and things get out of whack for a while. Reading? Sounds like you have a lot of books to read. I haven't been doing much reading recently. I think it's probably because I just learned that my cataracts are getting worse and I will probably be having surgery to remove them in the near future. Maybe that will make me more apt to want to read again once my eyes are better. I hope you have a wonderful week. I enjoyed reading your post and your pictures.
Hi Pamela, I live in the rain forest and near the ocean so yes I guess it helps keep the temperatures warmer. Although in the far, far north they also live near the ocean and it's freezing cold. I believe wind patterns probably have more to do with weather at the end of the day. I'm sorry you're missing the rain you need. That is a benefit of rain that we have here though believe it or not, we can still have wildfires after what seems like constant torrents of rain. I wish you well with your cataract surgery. I had mine some time ago and I'm glad it's behind me. I just got the regular one not the very specific one so I still need reading glasses but at least I don't need contacts or regular glasses too.
I like the weather you described. I have never made a list of things to read. I was never a big reader as a kid because I wanted to be outside in the woods, with the horses or hiking and swimming. I was rarely in the house and I was too eager to be outside to find time to read. I wish I was more of a reader today but no. Thanks for taking part. I really enjoy reading what people have to say. It's such a great way to get to know people.
Dear friend Joyful I am sorry you are feeling unwell.I hope and pray that you recover quickly by the grace of God🙏
