MARCH

March has marched in with still signs of winter and a few peeps of spring showing.  I bet my daffodils are wondering why they tried coming up so early. This picture is one of Maud Humphrey's calendar paintings of children representing the country of Scotland.  It is a good choice with the child wearing the famous Scotland plaids.   

As March marches in with its winds blowing winter right off our calendars we will certainly welcome the coming of Spring.  There are several things with which to celebrate this month.  We have Ash Wednesday on the 6th which means just a few weeks until Easter.  On the 10th most of the nation goes on Daylight Savings Time.  Think of all the things we can get done with an extra hour of sunlight!  LOL.  St. Patrick's Day is on the 17th and we all think green.  Then on the 20th we get to formally welcome in the much waited for First Day of Spring.  

Our family has several birthdays to celebrate.  My dad's was March 13 and he would have been 109, oldest son March 16, third son March 20.  Then one granddaughter on March 9, one grandson on March 20.  Then there are also several extended family members born in March as well as many friends.  We will be busy sending out Happy Birthday greetings.

POOR DAFFODILS WITH THEIR HEADS BENT IN PRAYERS FOR WARMER WEATHER !
