Hello MARCH

Ya don't the clips on the left look lovely and has you wondering, "what damn state is this fool in because it ain't NY!"

Just FYI I still have that tricky squirrel who is determined to eat from the bird feeders. He's truly an amazing little sucker and does not give up easily. I recently switched locations of the sunflower hearts (his fave) feeder and now, he's slightly ticked as to how he can reach it. It's rather fun watching him figure this out as he continues to snack on the other feeder trays. I'm gonna have an obese squirrel in no time!

Okay now for some March 1st FACTS: Ready? Tough, you're gonna seen them regardless:

1790: The U.S. Congress authorized the first census.

1803: Ohio became the 17th state in the United States.

1864: Rebecca Lee was the first black woman awarded a medical degree.

1867: Nebraska became the 37th state in the United States.

1872: Yellowstone became the world's first National Park.

1932: The 20-month-old son of Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped.

1961: President John F. Kennedy signed a signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps.

1981: IRA member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike in Maze Prison; he would die 65 days later.

And we cannot forget our brain exercise tip or mind expander -- hell, make stuff up,who cares:

Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

Yes, March is here and if you even thought it was gonna bring warm weather you are having an out of body experience. March has been known to give us some of the harshest winter weather and dump a boat load of white stuff just to piss us off royally. It is also the month to mess with the maple syrup crowd too. March can be a mean sucker but she can also fool ya and be one of the nicest months of the year. I'm pushing for nice this year -- February was the pits, Mama was going through menopause or something so March should see her happy, cheerful and ready to let some warmth back into our lives.
