Did you grow up with the saying about March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb, or vice versa? If not, it’s to do with when it’s windiest (as March tends to be a windy month with the change in season happening.) This past week, here in Northern Virginia, it was definitely a week of lion.
The best thing about it though, was that it was beautiful kite flying weather. And my youngest and I are big kite flying fanatics. So we took good advantage of the time to send his three-headed dragon soaring up in the air with the birds. (Several of the gliding turkey vultures came over to see who the interloper was.)

Happy Sunday! We have Lion weather this week in Michigan! Windy., snow, rain – ever changing! Congrats to all the winners! Happy reading!
Good morning! Our weather has been like a lion so far – cooler temperatures than normal and the wind blowing.
🎉🎉
Yes! So many good books.
It’s going to be a great week of posts!
Oh man. even though we didn’t get the snow I wanted this winter, I’d be sad if we got it now.
Have you gone out with a kite? :)
Happy Sunday and congratulations to all the winners!
I’ve never flown a kite. It does sound fun though, I think my kids would enjoy it so might look in to getting one and giving it a go.
Congratulations to all of the winners. And thank you, Inspy Romance authors!! ❤
Congratulations to all the winners. Yes, I grew up with the saying and March came in like a lion here in west Texas. Have a great week.
Congratulations to the other winners I didn’t think I would win grand prize. It’s finally getting warmer here the February and March it was on and off with snow rain hail wind and snow with rain in February my sibblings had a week off of school because of snow so this year they have missed quite a bit of school or had late starts because of snow.
Oh I hope you do!
Thank you – and all our visitors – for being part of our family here.
❤️
I do not love cold snowy Marches. I had them growing up and it’s one thing I’m glad to be rid of.
busy week
Thank you, and congratulations to all of the others, too!! It’s windy here today in Florida!! Of course, it usually is! At least the humidity isn’t as bad as it will be in the summer, and it’s much cooler today!! It’s also very overcast, but I’ll take cooler any day!!! Today is also the last day of Spring Break, which means all school zones will be back tomorrow! I don’t have kids, and rarely know when schools are out, so I’m always paying attention to those signs! The only times I know for sure I don’t have to pay attention are Spring Break and when school’s out for the summer!
I had heard of the saying but wasn’t sure of the explanation. Thanks for sharing!
And thanks for the bundle! It was fun. :) Congratulations to the other winners!
You’re so welcome. Thanks for being part of InspyRomance!
we were told the strong winds around this time of year and again this time in September were the equinoctial gales Of course its just coincidence but I always think of this. it happens more in Sept (spring than autumn).
I had heard the saying before not sure I knew when it was.
Congrats to all winners.
I wonder if yours is September because it’s Spring for you.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Congratulations ❤️
I am so glad you were able to have some time to fly a kite. It has been years since I have flown one. Congratulations to all the winners. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
Yes ,I can remember hearing this saying all the time ! And Thank You and all the other Authors for these amazing Book Bash Prizes and Congratulations to all the other winners! My grandchildren love flying their kites and now as I have gotten older I Love watching them instead of flying kites myself! Have a Blessed week!
