Marching Towards Spring

Hello and Welcome March!!

Wow.... can you believe the worst of winter is over... already! I am so excited to see March arrive and hopefully it will be less intense than March 2009. If our incredible winter is any indication we can expect a very nice, snowless month with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. The winds have been oh so blustery the past couple of weeks reminding me of southern Alberta although Alberta chinooks were warm winds and these have been downright cold. I can forgive the winds when I see the sun daily melting away the snow and ice. I won't even mind if it rains, just as long as there is no heavy snowfall.
I am starting to feel like a butterfly breaking free of my cocoon of winter lethargy and am looking forward to more outdoor pursuits.

Here is my dried rose arrangement.

These are my Valentines roses and don't they look awesome arranged in this vase? I had some other fake flowers already in the vase. I removed most of them and added in the dried roses. The arrangement looked pretty sparse with just the roses; adding in a few stalks of the other flowers filled it out a bit better. I found a home for them upstairs in the hallway on the pine trunk.


It just occurred to me... when March comes in like a lamb, it can go out like a lion. Oh no, look out............. ROOOAAARRR!
