Dear March, Come In!

   I was saving this poem for the first of March, but then got carried away posting pictures of all the snow and completely forgot until it suddenly started going through my mind at 5:30 yesterday morning, and I knew there was something I forgot to do! 😁
   I do believe Spring is coming! Even though the temperatures are still below freezing, the sun is very warm and the snow melts a little bit during the afternoons. Today was very beautiful. There is definitely some life stirring in the air...I can just sense it! I suppose my plants must be feeling it about now too and I know I will find some of them already peeking out before the glaciers have quite receded from my garden! 😊

Dear March - Come in -
How glad I am -
I hoped for you before -
Put down your Hat -
You must have walked -
How out of Breath you are -

​Dear March, how are you, and the Rest -
Did you leave Nature well - 
Oh March, Come right upstairs with me -
I have so much to tell -

​I got your Letter, and the Birds - 
The Maples never knew that you were coming -
I declare - how Red their Faces grew -         
But March, forgive me - 
And all those Hills you left for me to Hue - 
There was no Purple suitable - 
You took it all with you - ​
