Happy March 1st!

Happy March first everyone. Spring is on its way! During weight class, Marge, one of the ladies, mentioned that next weekend our clocks spring forward. The ladies were also talking about their crocuses popping up and the daffodil shoots emerging near their houses, well protected from the snow. I mentioned the month coming in like a lamb and exiting like a lion or something to that effect and this upcoming week it appears that March is starting out in a lamb-like state. I could live with that.

In my own garden, by virtue of being on top of the hill and having one of the last yards that sheds the last of the winter snows, I usually have to wait until April to see any spring bulbs. If I need a spring fix, I have to go visit other yards to see crocuses and daffodil shoots. I don’t mind because April is just a short jump, hop, skip away and we have emerged over the hump of winter. It’s not all clear sailing to warmer weather just yet, being in Blandford you never know, but at least the light at the end of the cold tunnel is very visible from here. Hooray!

Who who who?

If you could be a famous person for a day, who would you be and why?

There are two answers swirling around my head; one is very frivolous and the other would be to try to do the socially and politically right things for the greater good. I'd like to be Secretary of State and help bring peaceful resolutions to the areas of turmoil all around the world such as Africa and the Middle East. Since I only have one day, there is only so much possible that I could accomplish, but at least I would have tried to do some good.

Now for the frivolous and fun part of being famous for a day. I'd like to be some famous celebrity where my agent or publicist would arrange all of my travel to some exotic location for a much needed down time and all of my wishes and whims would be anticipated and met without me having to say a single thing. I would have 24 hours of pure peace, relaxation and pampering.
