March has well and truly established herself with strong gales and heavy rainfall over the last few days. According to folklore the month will go out like a lamb when it enters like a lion! Each of the quotations below match one of the pictures, you can decide which...just to keep you on your toes !
The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings.-
Joyce Kilmer, Spring
Slayer of the winter, art thou here again?
Slayer of the winter, art thou here again?
O welcome, thou that's bring'st the summer nigh!
The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain,
Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky.
Welcome, O March! whose kindly days and dry
Make April ready for the throstle's song,
Thou first redresser of the winter's wrong!-
William Morris, March
Botanists say that trees need the powerful March winds to flex their trunks and main branches, so the sap is drawn up to nourish the budding leaves. Perhaps we need the gales of lifein the same way, though we dislike enduring them.

When March goes on forever,
When March goes on forever,
And April's twice as long,
Who gives a damn if spring has come,
As long as winter's gone.
- R. L. Ruzicka
March is the month of expectation,
March is the month of expectation,
The things we do not know,
The Persons of Prognostication
Are coming now.
We try to sham becoming firmness,
But pompous joy
Betrays us, as his first betrothal
Betrays a boy.
- Emily Dickinson
March is an in between month,
When wintry winds are high.
But milder days remind us all,
Spring's coming by and by.
