March is a time of cleaning out the staid, squirrelly shut-up home of the winter with fresh new breezes. It’s a time of hope, looking for the warmth of the future spring. It’s a time of planning, getting set for activities in the summer.
And it’s a time of mud! Yes, squelchy, messy mud everywhere. Sometimes still gripped in the slush of winter ice, sometimes in a glorious warm brown sludge. When I was a child, of course, this was reason alone to be out in the wonderful playground of the Great Outdoors. I would search the still-clinging remnants of snow for the first crocus heads to burst through their white cloaks into the cool air.
But today, with work obligations and the knowledge of whatever I dirty I have to clean, I am more circumspect in placing my feet. That’s is, perhaps, a sad thing indeed.
What are your March memories and impressions? What makes you think of March?

March is my birth month, so I am a little biased. 🙂 “Virginia Bluebell” by Miranda Lambert is one of my favorite songs (think I’ll give it a another listen here in a sec). Most if my life was spent in the southwest, so enjoying all 4 seasons is a first for me! I am very much looking forward to the blossoms stretching out their petals. And the sun. And the thunderstorms. And rainbows….and and and.
