Throughout the weekend I caught the Weather Channel a number of times and watched a mid-March storm come across the US, including the Midwest and Southeast...and then up the East Coast. For the most part when a storm comes up the East Coast, it doesn't reach us, at least directly. Maybe it's the Appalachian Mountains, I'm not sure. We get the ones coming down from Canada and/or across the Great Lakes.
Anyway, we just got a bit of rain and some winds that weren't really the destructive kind. In between those blips of storms our 50-60 degree temps officially brought early spring to our gardens. Here is the first patch of crocuses. Along with the 5-6" green stems of upcoming daffodils and the little groups of tulip leaves, we were so buoyed up by all of it that we walked through the inner courtyard from the front foyer to the dining room 100 times!
Terribly jealous of those of you who are 3-4 weeks ahead of us already!
PS. This is one of those rare March weeks where we celebrate Sts. Patrick, Benedict and Joseph all between Monday and Friday. Lots of special songs, prayers and desserts!
