“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ~Charles Dickens
Beneath the blue skies of midweek it appeared March might come in cold, but beautiful and clear. I admired the migratory flock of birds dotting my neighbor’s tree. Host to an iridescent mix of grackles, red-wing blackbirds, cowbirds and starlings, the tree was the stage for a twittering cacophony of bird talk.
Unfortunately, winter has not reached its turning point, and March arrived wrapped in a mantle of snowfall. Regardless of its chilly start, I know warmer, radiant weather will eventually ensue and appease my winter-weary mood. March days will soon find me in my garden turning over the soil to once again welcome spring.
Beautiful photo!!!

Aren’t we all ready.? Here it has been fairly nice temps but rain …more than we really need. But…we take what we get and try to be thankful , Come the long days of Summer we will be wanting cool and rain.

That’s true…although I’d rather be hot than cold and standing on a beach fishing.

I’ve always thought is is easier to put on more layers to warm up than to take it all off to cool . lol At my age…I’m not taking it all off.
