It's either wing or sprinter

This time of year is enough to drive you nuts.
Nature is teasing us like someone offering candy to a baby and then pulling it away at the last moment. We have had several mild, sunny days ending with crisp, cold nights, just enough to make us dream of spring. Hope for spring. Think spring is here.
It is dangerous to let your heart get too full of spring joy in March- March is a treacherous month. It gives with one hand and takes with the other- often on the same day. It's not unusual to turn off the heat during the day and turn it back on at night at this time of year; but in March, on and off can happen multiple times during any given day.
So we must cherish the sunshine while we have it. We can't really trust in spring until May.

Yes, March is the month for alternating Tennessee blizzards and sun-scorching days. If you're hoping for sun-shiny spring weather, though, who ever thought I'd tell you "Don't bother coming to California." On the bright side, I think my desire to move to Seattle has been washed completely away.

You know who I feel sorry for in all this?

The daffodils... if ever there was a bunch that paid more dearly for being eager, I sure don't know about it.
