After the weather we had have for the past week, I think it is safe to say that March roared in like a lion (or two!!) The big storm arrived a week ago with howling winds and heavy rains. We fared better "inland" than they did on the coast, but still, half the town was without power until just a couple days ago.
We went and visited with Kas and Nate and then my folks on Sunday. The ocean was still putting on a pretty good show, and parts of the beach were closed off to the public. This kind of fury draws people in, but it's so very dangerous... more than once, people have been swept out to sea..it's very powerful. My parents were without power, fortunately they did get a generator, so they were doing OK.. but they were told it would be a few days before it returned. Kas and Nate only lost power for a few hours, so they were OK too... I just need to know that my family is all OK...
Monday morning we were back to snow covered ground... not much mind you... but snow again none the less. Poor Mr. G.. he didn't seem too impressed with the world when he made his morning rounds of the farm.
The good thing about March snows is that they don't last very long. Once the sun begins to get strong and the ground warms, it doesn't stick around. Course it does add to mud season... which is "always great fun on the farm".
So.. welcome March - I'm looking forward to you bringing me some spring....
