Last week was cold but the days were sunny. Winter is making a return today and the week’s forecast promises more snow and ice. But I am treating the arrival of March like a treasured event. It signals a lot of things worth celebrating: JT has started baseball practice; Spring Break starts on March 6; next weekend we move our clocks forward and enjoy more evening light; in 21 days, Spring officially arrives. Spring. In my world, those are some heady and most-welcome developments. Even so, for now the backyard remains still.
The peach tree’s corner has snow. More is on the way, confirming March’s reputation as the month that comes in like a Lion. But we’ve turned our calendars nonetheless and that means the season of cold stillness is coming to a close.
