   Well for you that know me, know I have seen many months of March winds, but unless my memory fails me, I don’t remember the winds being so strong, for so many continuous days. They have not been tornadic winds, but have exerted strong force. If April showers are as frequent as these winds have been, we are in for a lot of rain. Oh well, we will survive no matter what comes our way.

   Another St. Patrick’s Day, “wearing of the green,” has passed. How many of you know if you are Irish or not? I don’t believe I am but I wore green several days and I am not fond of most greens.

   St. Patrick’s Day was originally celebrated in Ireland with religious services and feasts in honor of St. Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints, legend saying he died on March 17th. In America, the celebration is to show the “Irish belongs no matter where they be.”

   As you well know by now, we were to set our clock up an hour on March 9th. I have more clocks than I really need and some are higher on the wall than I can reach from the floor. Sooo, I had my son, Kevin, set them forward two days ahead as he was leaving for work.

That won’t happen again because I got where I couldn’t remember which one was right or wrong!

   Has anyone noticed the Moberly radio station KRES has added more local news. I talked with an employee and she said, we are trying to add more in the future,” I hope so, as I turn to KRES every morning as I make my way to you know where.

   There are several flowers blooming despite the variations of weather and temperatures. I thought the daffodil and jonquil were the same, but I find the difference is how the flower is situated on the stem. They are both in the narcissus family and are some of the earliest spring bloomers.

   Here is a repeat from one of my other letters: Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear with its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

   Thank you for reading.

P.S. By the time of my next letter in April, Easter will have been celebrated. Remember the “Reason for the celebration.”
