April's First Hodgepodge

 

Hi everyone here is the latest hodgepodge

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

Just another run of the mill month

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

I am terrified of open heights, eclosed heights don’t both me as much, been a while since I have had to deal with heights.

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. 

The word that comes to mind is apology I had to look it up in the dictionary before I wrote the damn word. I will offer an apology for my slackness during April.

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? 

Had to think for a bit about what Peeps are, then it came to me before I turned to Google, they are not something we see much in the shops down here. The best way to eat chicken is roasted with roast or baked vegetables and gravy.

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? 

Once I would have said I had no interest in poetry but the last few years that has changed when it comes to a line from a poem it would have to be, “there was movement at the station”

The poem is The Man From Snowy River by Banjo Paterson

Insert your own random thought here.  

“Respect is built through actions.
Honesty is valued in silence.
Trust grows with consistency.
Loyalty comes back to those who give it.
Character speaks louder than promises.
Integrity shapes how others see you.
What you give to life, life returns.”
