Sunday Thoughts - March

Spring is in the air here in Texas—beautiful blue skies, green grass growing, trees budding, and no annoying pollen yet.

Today is balmy. That's the best word to describe the warm day that makes being outside a delight.

There's a weather-related old saying about March.

"If March comes in like a lamb, it'll go out like a lion. If it comes in like a lion, it'll go oout llike a lamb."

Since we've had lovely weather the last few days, I fear we'll be getting the roaring lion kind of weather when the end of the month rolls around.
