March's Final Huzzah

I peeked out my window this morning and wistfully thought to myself "If it was 10-15 degrees warmer this would be a thunderstorm." I could use a good thunderstorm, allowing the nature to wash the world and myself clean. Instead, it is coldish outside. And snowing.

Anywhere between 3-9 inches predicted.

March has lived up to it's Minnesota reputation: a snowy tease. Dumping snow and then melting off, snow and melt, snow and melt. Such is life. It would be too easy to focus on the snow and be wistful of warmer temperatures and springtime feelings. Instead, I am happy that flowers have not poked their gree heads above the soil yet. That this snow will, in the next few days (please?), melt away and replenish the ground with the water it needs.

March is indeed going out like a lamb -- fluffy and snowy white, we exit, to a hopeful spring and new month.
