Kelly-Lovasz Ahhhh, the 'madness' that is March! This month comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. And, in some instances, it's the other way around. This is a tricky month if you live in a region like ours. One day we have that hopeful glimmer of the crocus peaking through the ground, and the next day there could be a snowstorm bearing down on us. This kind of stuff just happens...we have no control over it. March brings us back to Daylight Savings Time on March 10 (hooray for more sunlight!), and the feast day of Saint Patrick on the 17th. Yes, I will wear my Kelly green that day. Two days later on the 19th, the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Championship--a.k.a. "March Madness"~begins. This is the day that I lose all communication with my husband, until the day after the Final Four. (Editor's note: Not true!) William Penn Life 0 AAarch 2013 0 23
