March Challenge

Oh!  I can’t stand it!  I must have a challenge for March.  I’d love for you to join me.  Approach the prompts from whatever creative standpoint you would like.  Photography, poetry, prose, etc.  Be humorous or serious.  Be literal or use the prompt as a springboard to something more.  Just put your creativity in gear!  If all you have time for is a short thought or two, create a small stone.  That is simply a noticing about the prompt.  I can’t wait to see you!  And I hope I’m not alone.  :-)
