| The Calends of March |
March is a month of considerable frustration -- it is so near spring and yet [here in Minnesota the weather can still be] so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away. -- Thalassa Cruso How right she is!!!! (By the way, did anyone notice that she used a unit of distance when she meant a unit of time?) |
| March 2nd | Ya know, within a month Cindy and Barb might start doing the spring cleaning in the Cabins. Resort prep time is nearly upon us. |

Hummingbirds have been seen in northern Florida and in the southern end of Mississippi and Alabama already this year. One can, of course, follow their migration via the internet if one likes, but it would be nice to hear directly from people as they notice their arrival. So when any of you guys south of here see your first hummingbird of the year (that's a hint to Mary, Laurie, Gary, Connie, and Dotz, by the way), it would be neat if you'd let me know and I'll post it here. I'd love to hear from anyone south (or even north) of Grand Rapids. So put your feeders out (not you yet Dotz) and start watching. By the way, if you'd like to follow their migration as it progresses this year, click HERE. And if you're interested, that site also contains links to previous years' migration data. |
| March 4th | Words of Wisdom: Remember, we're in Minnesota and this is March. No matter how spring-like the weather may be at the moment, do not get fooled into thinking that winter is over. |

| March 6th | The ice should be gone in about six weeks, plus or minus a few days.........maybe. |
| The Nones of March | Almost eleven and a half hours of daylight already. Wow! Where has this winter gone? |
| March 8th | Rain!!! Winter is rapidly turning into spring. The seasons march on at an ever increasing pace. Why does this keep happening? |
| March 9th | So long Dotz.......thanks for coming; I enjoyed it. And tell Beverly that I missed her hugs! Oh well, the next time will be fine; I can wait. |
| March 10th | It looks like there's a lot of water on the ice........and there is. But be aware that there's about two feet of ice under those puddles. Click HERE. |
