March. The third month. The month named after Mars, the Roman god of war. What does the month mean to you?
For some it is the beginning of spring. For the Irish among us, it is the time of the St. Patrick’s Day celebration. For me, it is the March Hare.
The March Hare is the imaginary creature in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” who is the host of an outdoor tea party that Alice attends. I am sure that readers are familiar with this creature.
I was not a reader until I moved to Alaska at the age of 10 with my family. My fifth-grade teacher believed in reading. She read to the children and expected them to read on their own. I was seduced by the written word.
