March - The Weather Rollercoaster Begins!

Spring is starting in fits and starts as usual. We had temperatures in the 60s over the weekend and now we are back to the 30s with snow spitting and flying in the air. Last weekend I saw tundra swans on the USA Pond along the Glen Richey Highway. If I had pointed them out to my travelling partner, she never would have seen them. How important it is to train the senses to perceive. Lots remains invisible and unheard to deaf mutes of the modern era. Spring Peepers, wood frogs, midges, a mourning cloak butterfly and even a Comma butterfly graced us with their presence these last few days. It's good to welcome back old friends. Perhaps we'll introduce them to some new people through teaching and sharing with neighbors and fellow employees.
