Happy St. Patrick's Day
And hope you have had a nice one plus or minus corned beef and cabbage which was our preference.
We choose to be Irish for a meal. We used our potatoes and carrots.
The weather is raw and icy cold in spite of the deceptively warm 30 degrees. That is usually a heat wave in March. This 30 however feels different. It is so cold I couldn't stay outside in the new found sunlight appearing after work now. Short term torture at adjusting to the new time change. It is doubtful we should ever change time so often.
The spring bird sounds are coming in spite of the cold snap. Red wing blackbirds, in fact all the blackbirds, ravens, crows were squaking and singing these liquid impossible tunes calling out to all that their stake has been claimed. We saw some turkeys today. They were sipping water by the edge of snow. They they went trotting away on the hard crust of snow.
So raise a glass to an Irishperson or a person choosing to be for a moment.
Spring must be coming soon.
