Welcoming March

March!

Finally the month where, in this part of the world, things become habitable again.

Sometime over the next few weeks our gardens and lawns will start peaking through the melting snow.  The snow will recede leaving in its wake the gravel and sand that has been spread on surfaces for the last four months.  Neighbours will again start speaking to each other as they leave or enter their homes, no longer in a rush to get in from the biting cold and driving wind.  Our moods will improve as the smell of wet earth, three month old dog shit and flowers lifts into the milder air.

The question of why (and how) so many people live in such imposing conditions will recede into memory as we once again consider ourselves lucky to live in such a unique, safe, prosperous corner of the world.

Depending on the source this was either the coldest winter since 1979 or since 1904.  All I know is that I am so sick and tired of it.

March, I welcome you with joy and hope.

Let me know what you think about what you have just read. Please and thanks!
