It's the first day of March, and you know, the poem above is where the adage, "In like a lion, out like a lamb," comes from.  It's kind of hard to tell, though, what March will be like this year.  Cold, blustery winds welcomed the new month here in West Virginia this morning, and yet as the day wore on, it warmed up above freezing.  The forecasters are predicting temps in the 50's tomorrow, and nearly up to the 70's for Monday!  Wow! 

Anyone who has ever lived in this beautiful state, though, knows that these temps are deceiving.  Just because it's warming up now is no sure sign that Spring is here.  Oh, no!  There have been times I've seen a blizzard hit us after the early March warm-up!

So while I will be enjoying the sunshine and warmer temps, I won't put away the sweatshirts and heavy coats and gloves just yet!  These are the days when you leave your home making sure you have warm gear for the sudden temperature plunges that come along unexpectedly.

I hope you had a wonderful first day of March!  And yes, Spring will be here soon--just not tomorrow yet!  But a few more weeks (time to get the garden seeds sown in their flats pretty soon--my hyacinths, daffodils, and crocuses are coming up!).

Hugs,
