I have good news------ March is 4 days away----AND----- You know what is going to happen in March?-
Now, you all are saying--"Well, it is not here yet"----but-----SPRING BEGINS MARCH 20, 2023---and----that is a wee bit more than 2 weeks away-- FINALLY----- the snow might stop falling--in fact, it might even melt-- Lord love a Duck!
The official day that Spring begins, changes from year to year-- (I never knew that)- It is called , "The vernal Equinox", and that date marks the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator from South to North. The official date changes from March 21st to March 20th . It has to do with the earth's revolution around the sun. The earth takes about 365 .5 days to complete a revolution around the sun . The extra quarter of a day (about 6 hours) is partly the reason the official date varies.
When I was in Public school, we had a verse we used to sing-- It went like this---
Spring has Sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where the bodies iz?
The bird is on the wing
But that's absoid
I thought the wing was on the bird--
AND THERE IS MORE GOOD NEWS___DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS ON THE SECOND SUNDAY IN MARCH-----In 2023, that is March 12th----
Yes, you sure did make my day! Thanks! Dorothy
ReplyDeleteSo happy I made someone's day Dorothy!-- Hugs-Lynda
DeleteI've been thinking the same thing. I just want to get February out of here. I read yesterday that in the US we will stay on Daylight Savings Time permanently. Not sure how I feel about that one! It's hard enough to get up in the dark of winter, now it will be dark for an hour longer! Have a great day Lynda! Kathy
ReplyDeleteWow--- I wonder if we will follow the US-- with the DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME---- That usually happens-- It has snowed here all day-- Lynda
DeleteJust read your blog from yesterday today - and it brought tears to my eyes when I read about your son plowing your drive in the dark. I am behind as I have been really sick....finally went to the dr yesterday and I have a severe sinus infection. I just thought I had a nasty cold and was trying to tough it out and it was a mistake. My eyes got swollen shut, my ears clogged, couldn't breathe through my nose and my chest ached from coughing so hard. Am on antibiotics and cough pearls and finally got to sleep some last night. I will be happy for spring to get here too! And it is nice to wake up to a new day and hopefully a more healthy one! Love your blogs!
ReplyDeleteYes Sandra, YU have been saying for quite some time that you have not felt well--It is a good thing that you want to the Doctor-Hopefully you improve now--- Hugs to you-- Lynda
DeleteI do admit life would be boring without hearing from you each day. Your daily stories and posters can make me laugh, feel happy and bring back many memories of my childhood. You are so honest about life at our age and it makes me feel that I am not alone in the things that I feel. Thanks .
ReplyDeleteOh Madeline--Yu are so good!-- Well have experienced just about everything-- Hopefully she can tell our children what life was like for us-Lynda
DeleteI am happy that you see Spring on the horizon…that must be a wonderful feeling…the end of the bitter cold, scary ice, and ALL of that snow to shovel!! Hang in there; not much longer…little Lopez will be ecstatic! Eissa7
ReplyDeleteIt has snowed here ALL day-- Lynda
DeleteI walk the dog this morning in below zero F temps so I am not feeling like Spring is anywhere near here today. I have a soup in the crockpot for supper and hockey is on TV this afternoon . . . still feels like winter to me. I also looked up the clocks changing here in the US and it is still happening on the 12th (my birthday) and in November they go back . . .no getting rid of the change thing this year as far as I could find.
ReplyDeleteI really know it has been a bad winter--- but---- maybe its nearly over-- -- Hugs to yu--- Lynda
DeleteKeep your sense of humor Lynda........hugs
ReplyDeletewell WE must laugh ----- LOL---- but--March sounds like a great month-Lynda
DeleteHadn't thought of spring coming that soon. You made my day! And daylight savings that soon. Can't wait to get rid of winter with the snow and freezing temps. Lopez will sure be happy too! Hope you don't get much more snow with all you have already had! Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the best?---- Day light Savings-and SPRING-Lynda
DeleteOhhhhhhhh, I am sooooo over Winter. Wish that Mother Nature would pay attention to the memo that I am tired of snow and cold! Oh well. Soon!
ReplyDeleteYes, you made my day!
Hugs and here’s to a wonderful weekend.

It snowed here'd ALL day-----Crazy!--- Lynda
DeleteAnd Saint Patrick's Day is coming, too Leprechauns, shamrocks and a pot-o-gold at the end of a huge rainbow! If I could send them to you, I would.
ReplyDeleteAll the animals, including your doggies, will be happy to welcome spring...warmer weather, puddles to splash in, squirrels, etc. to chase...and no snow or ice to poop in!
You will have more yard work, but I am sure you will enjoy it more. You will be making your property attractive, growing lovely flowers and feeding hummingbirds!
They finally cleaned our lot, but it snowed again last night. Just 1-2 inches this time. I can deal with that.
Tomorrow is Sunday (Funday). We play bingo in our Community Room for $.05 a card. They winner of each game gets all the dimes and nickels.
A friend who used to live here brought over sloppy joes and potato salad. A good start to dinner. I will add something green in the vegetable department.
Let's make it a fun day for all of us. Maybe you can get in some communication with kids or grandkids, piano playing and/or reading. I just purchased a new book for my kindle.
{{{HUGS}}}
aren't Kindles the best thing ever??? I just love mine so much! I have great books sat my finger tips -- Hugs, Lynda
DeleteGreat books, games and, if you have an internet commection, email, news and weather, too. BTW Book 10 of the Outlander series probably won't be out for about 5 years. It will be the last one.
DeleteYes you made my day. Your daily shares always brighten my day.
ReplyDeleteIm.DONE with winter. We've had nothing like your weather but I want to get out to walk and feel sunshine. Soring is coming.
Have a great day. Hope you can stay in and stay warm.
Hugs
I want too feel the sun too-- Lynda
DeleteEnjoy your weekend, and play your piano! Soon you can look for houses! Winter has been nasty for too long.
ReplyDeleteOh Margene-- It has been one very snowy day--It snowed ALL day-- Spring will be most welcome! Lynda
DeleteMarti here. My thoughts exactly. Counting down until Feb is over with, and DST is here (my fav day of the year). I can't really complain though. Here (in Central Ohio) it hasn't snowed ALL Feb and we had two days of record temps. We've had more sun than in Jan too. And we only had like 3" a couple times in Jan and it was quickly melted. I had prayed to God that this winter wouldn't be like last winter, in which I was very nervous of walking, as we had quite a long spell last winter of a lot of snow, with a heavy coat of ice, that lingered. I walk the dog around the loop 3 times a day, and I was always so afraid of falling. I do wear my ice grips in the winter, but with my foot not doing well this winter, that would have been my downfall.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that by next time this year, you'll be happily tucked into a small home in town or a small condo or whatnot. I think a nice independent living place where there are lots of activities that you could both do together would be nice. I wouldn't mind that myself, LOL
It's hard to think about Spring when it's been so cold and snowy here. We do get a day or two with sun, but then the winter comes back. I am looking forward to getting outside and planting veggies and flowers.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I wish I could just HUG you for that Snoopy comic. It really really made me smile! Thank you! ❤️
