Late March – Out Like a What?

The old rule of “March – in like a lion, out like a lamb” seems to have gone haywire this year. It’s more of an “out like a ice-breathing water dragon,” or maybe a “cold toad.”

Have the seasons shifted?  Perhaps April will now be in like a lion and out like a lamb. But that might lead to May showers bringing June flowers. (Which will lead to the loss of a quality joke for 6 year olds. What do May flowers bring? Pilgrims! It doesn’t work with Juneflowers.)

The cats are beginning to think I’m lying to them that spring will be here soon. Oh, sure, they trust me when the sun warms things up a bit, but overall they are doubting me.

That said, the forecast for the last day of March looks pretty lamb-like. 55 degrees and partly sunny. One can hope.
