Hello March!!!
How
are you this year? What do you have in store for us. It has been a long
time since you made your appearance dressed like a little lamb. You are
coming in with all of the softness of a downy chick. Your warm breezes
and blooming trees and green grass are all causing me to think you have
changed from years past.
I
have begged you to please be who you really are and not who you pretend
to be today. Our trees will bloom and they will open their pink and
white petals to all of the warm scented skies. Then you will change, you
will bring cold and rain and wind and the beautiful flowers won't have
time to turn into fruit. One good thing about you March, is you are
good for kite flying and for walking in the rain. You are good for the
birds who have been singing since they knew you were on your way. You
are filled with dreams to be dreamed. You do always fill me with joyful
expectations I admit.
I
think of you March because of all of the babies that have came and
continue to bless our lives and how for all of the ways you catch me off
guard I can't hold very much against you. You have always been a
blessing. Some of the hardest roads I have walked have been with you. I
still am excited to see you arrive.
So
welcome dear March. Don't be in a hurry to race by, just stick around
so I can enjoy you in all of your moods. I promise that I will take time
to fly kites, to walk in the rain and to dream of far off castles in
the air and sail away on your sailing ships that you send to float on
that blue, blue sky.
Welcome Back!

we are late with our spring this year, so i'm ready for march to kick in here - have already had some fierce winds in february, so maybe it'll be gentler. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!
ReplyDeleteI like March because her name is meaningful and when I was a girl, my friends all had their birthdays in March.
I can't tell if she is coming in as a lion or a lamb today. It's sort of in between outside.
You have a grateful heart, friend.
March is roaring in here...sleet and snow.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see flowers on your post. I miss COLOR.
Mmm, March is my favorite time of year. It's the month Ben and I started dating, the month my first babies were born, the month of warmth and flowers and the excitement of Easter coming... What is that pretty spotted bell flower? I really like it!
ReplyDeleteGosh, we really have 2 very different versions of March :) I think I like yours the best!
ReplyDeletePS Our March is coming in like a Lion :(
I like your promises.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for spring. Bring it on.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's finally March! It's like 6 weeks long, too. The kids keep begging to wear shorts, and we're all tired of the cold.
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you have written this! I am glad it's March too! Enjoy your week-end!
ReplyDeleteYes! Spring is coming in softly and sweetly here too!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
Neat post, Kim! We just don't want Spring to come too quickly here, either - for the same reasons! Fruit trees suffer if the weather is too warm - then wham! Here comes a late frost!:-(

enjoy march, but already miss January & February, time just goes by too fast for me. love your photos! have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI got soooo cold at the farmers' market this morning that I'm still cold (3-4 hours late). I'm really ready for spring, but March tend to be a continuation of winter. Sorry, March! I had to say it. Time is going so quickly now that I'm sure we''l be posting about hot summers soon. I used to think that time flying was relative to age, but I'm not sure. I know lots of young folks who say it is whipping by quickly. Have a good weekend! Oh- I like the pink blossoms on the tree against the blue sky.:)
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Excellent reminder to slow down and enjoy the transition month of March, where here it's not quite winter any more but not quite spring yet.
