A grammatical challenge for the end of February

 

I haven't had time to join in with the Wednesday Hodgepodge for a few weeks now, but sometimes one just has to take a few minutes to blog even when life is fairly insane.  So I am picking just one Hodgepodge question to answer:

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

Oh, let's see.  For a noun, let's pick LISTS.  I couldn't have gotten through February without them, having spent the best part of a week at my volunteer job, cooking for volunteers and staff working on a building remodel.  Lists of menus, grocery lists, cooking utensils and gadgets ... the lists seemed endless and, in addition, I made a time schedule for each day to have the meals ready at the appointed times.  

 For a verb, let's say DRIVING.  We seem to have done a lot of it in February.  Or perhaps my hubby would pick SHOVELING.  He has shoveled roofs, paths, decks, parts of driveways.  A lot of the white stuff has fallen this month.

So, for an adjective, I will pick WINTRY.  We have had the most snow, the most subzero temps, and the most icicles of the winter in February.  I will say it is pretty, though, and a wonderful reminder of all the references to snow, frost, and ice in the Bible.

 
And that's it!  One Hodgepodge question answered!  And the blogging itch scratched.
