Pastoral Ponderings

It is March. This month always reminds me of Lewis Carroll’s classic book Alice in Wonderland. Partially because kids in school used to call me “Alison Wonderland” and partially because cabin fever at this time of year can drive me a bit “mad” like the March Hare and his friend the “Mad Hatter.” Besides which, for the March Hare, it is always teatime! And, for me, except for my two cups of coffee in the early morning, it is always “iced teatime!”

The March Hare is mostly a bit off his rocker in March, but Alice has also remarked that, “The March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won’t be raving mad – at least not so mad as it was in March.” Ah, in March we often think that it would be lovely if it was that other month that begins with “M!” . . .
