From the Editor's Computer

I’m sure you have all noticed the mixed bag of weather we’ve been having in the past couple of weeks. We’ve experienced almost record lows to summer-like highs - in the same week! March is well known for its wild weather patterns...
"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away." - Thalassa Cruso

And we’ve all experienced days such as these...
"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." - Charles Dickens

Of course, we can’t overlook the wind days we’ve been experiencing either...
"Winds of March, we welcome you, There is work for you to do. Work and play and blow all day, Blow the Winter wind away." - unknown

March is a funny time of year really. We eagerly look forward to shedding our heavy winter garb and getting outside...
"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush." - Doug Larson

But no matter what the weather does - cold, snow, sun or slush, just remember...
"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." - Hal Borland
