March 1st is here, rolling in like a lamb!  Does that mean we will hear the lions roar at the end of the month at it's departure?  Well it did not happen last year, or for that matter the year before... Well since I've been keeping track in my little book (calendar)!  Something I started to do since my head injury.  Easy way to settle coffee shop arguments over wife's tales and folk lore in regards to weather.  The only one that seems to have a bit of consistency to it is the change in weather within three days of the full moon.  And that is only hitting about 50% of the time.
  Looks like another fabulous day across the land, as I can see the sun rising in the eastern sky!  Not much for cloud's up there right now.  So perhaps we will get up into the plus digits today, this should help with bringing on spring.  I have dug all but one small ditch through my mountains of snow, so when the melt begins, the water has an outlet to drain away from the house.  The last one I shall dig later this morning just as a back up ditch, just in case..... This is an extra overflow, which should take about an hour.
  Later today I will put the last things together, so when Susan gets home from work we can pack up the car.  This way, we will be ready to leave for our trip to Alberta.  After all, welcoming a new 'life' into this world is also part of Building the Simple life.....................
