Welcome March !

Well, we've turned another page on the calendar.
It's March, nearly a month since that infamous groundhog promised us an early spring.
And even though we haven't been buried in snow ... yet ... we haven't exactly been basking in sunshine, either.
Take today, for instance...

Yes, another mostly gray day. When I left work shortly after 2 p.m., you could see a small patch of blue off in the distance. But we also found ourselves being pelted by a snow/rain mixture for about 10 minutes.
Welcome to March!

So March didn't exactly roar in like a lion, and it wasn't really as warm and fuzzy as a lamb. But there really wasn't too much to complain about, either. It just would be nice to see the sun for an extended period of time.
Of course Spring Mountain Ski Area -- that little patch of white you see off in the distance in the photo below -- probably would beg to differ!

As for Domino and Wotsit, well, they'll just keep snuggling close to fend off that chill. Hey, spring will soon be here, right Punxsutawney Phil?

In like a lamb...

Yes, March has entered like the proverbial lamb. No snow, no howling winds, no ice storms.
What a lovely break from some of the winter weather we've been having.
Of course we all know what a mercurial month March can be as well, so fasten your seat belts; it may be a bumpy ride.
And since it's a lamb today, does that mean the converse will prove true at the end of the month -- that it will go out like a lion?
That's OK, as long as the "lion" resembles the little guy below.
