There came a winter storm this March
that threatened to arrive in a roar
but only crept in with a whisper and
left with a whimper, not more.
It was a March storm that welcomed spring.

I went for a walk today to see the melting. Birds and deer and turkey were all happily hunting for the sustenance that disappeared the day before. It was a snowy world now rapidly disappearing with the advent of the sun. In some places the snow lingers, and even though I will be delighted to see it all go, it still outlines my world with gallant touches of glamour.

Do you get the feeling March is laughing at us?
Did we ever actually lounge in a summer sun?
March brought another storm today and smugly dumped a brand new blanket
to taunt us shivering souls with memories of a mythical time of dreams.
Remember when we donned shorts and flip flops, bathing suits, and tanning gel
and basked in the warming rays of the sun?
But what good is a wallapalooza snow storm without complaining? A cup of hot chocolate can only go so far.
Because the memories grow stronger now about lazy summer days of poolside slumber, sun glasses, tan lines, red polished toes, birds singing, and soft warm summer breezes. Was there ever such a time? And will there ever be again?
But of course this is a Friday in March and it’s another snow day in Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. No time for summer memories. Snow shovels await.
And tonight it is supposed to get down to 8 degrees!
