In Like a Lion

Well, March is certainly making its presence known in Chicagoloand this morning.  We're having thunderstorms with lightning.  For some reason, my Accuweather isn't working this morning, so I'm not sure what the temperature is, but the rain is turning to slush once it hits the ground.  There's a gray half inch of it on the sidewalks and driveways.  The thunder is rattling this old house's windows in their frames and poor Eve gave me the most baleful look when I made her go outside to go potty.

 

Down deep I am excited.  Maybe this means that March will go out like a lamb.  I long for spring.  Today I will begin plotting and planning and thinking of my garden and bees in the lavendar and the butterflies in the coneflower.

Beautiful picture, Kim.

Baleful--I love that word! Mo often looks baleful when she has to go out in bad weather.

Longing for spring, too!

It's only windy here right now, but we're supposed to get a crippling snowstorm tonight. Won't that be fun? Very springlike!

Thanks, Jill!

Beck, I'll bet you are REALLY ready for spring! IT's been a long winter, hasn't it?

March is always so tricksy. You think that it's supposed to be almost spring, but it never is, not in March. It's chilly and damp and blustery, and then it snows and breaks your heart. March is my least favorite months--it lasts twice as long as other months. I'm dying for spring here in Ohio!

Me too Kim!
